| Ok will do, also what kind of rep ranges are you doing for assistance work? I've been doing low reps and concentrating on speed. | |||

fatter_tomorrow said:close grips, board presses, floor press, seated/standing strict press, push press, power jerk, split jerk, front squats for leg drive, jerk drives, use bands/chains for extra tricep work, pin presses, savickas presses (seated press but with no back support to lean on), tricep rollouts, skull crushers. the list goes on. also wearing oly shoes helped my overhead alot, put me in a much better position and i could get more leg drive. also racking the bar on the shoulders and pushing elbows forward. This might sound like a gay comment but what is a power jerk and what is a jerk drive? And yeah i've been looking at shoes, what ones do you have? | |||

| What does everyone use as overhead assistance and how often do you do it? I've been doing close grip bench on and off but am going to try and do it everytime i train. Did 8x3 today, what rep ranges do you use as well? Cheers | |||

Wayne_Cowdrey said:Car walk is a cool event! I think it's all become too standardised. I'd like to see a bit of a return to more "rough and ready" kit being used, like in the old days. The use of a wooden log this year was a good move. I'd like to see more max lift events. Having log for max this year was a good move. Let's have silver dollar next year! This is kind of what i was getting at. | |||

| Add in things like wrestling and bar bending. Things 'normal' people can relate to a bit more. | |||

| Evening all, Just a quick one for all those that train/live/work in glasgow and train strongman. Where is good to train for events? Looking to get involved because PL has gone out the window a bit as i hate bench with a passion (CG is ok for overhead assistance). Cheers | |||

| incredible lifting mate, well done! | |||

| I'd get a rack as soon as possible mate, or find a decent gym and join it. Squatting regularly usually has a good carryover to deadlifts but not the other way round, i have found in my experience but may be wrong. Stiff legged deadlifts may help however. | |||

| Cheers guys, will have a look at those ironwork shoes. And I usually squat barefoot but the busybodies in my uni gym are pretty strict about footwear which is a shame as it is a decent gym. Do you find that shoes alter your tech much? | |||

| Evening all, just wondering if many people here use weightlifting shoes for squatting? If so what ones do you use? I have been looking at adidas power perfect and they seem to be reasonably priced. Cheers | |||
