What's a viper? Besides a snake.

One motion clean into strict press. Like how Eddie Hall does it. As soon as it hits the rack position you press it.
 
What Herder said. I'm a very weak presser, and currently can't push press too much without irritating my hammy, so training the viper as an alternative for my next strongman comp. Just carrying my momentum from the clean into a press.

Nice pressing! How was high bar with the cambered bar?
 
I lol'd when I saw the 70lb jump to 565 then a miss....that'd be a helluva jump to such a high effort beltless pull, nevermind after all the cambered squats!
 
Biotch of a bar. Good stuff.
425x3x3 @8.5RPE is actually not bad for me, regardless of bar, raw strength is coming back...

lol I wanted a PR and didn't want to waste energy, couldn't budge it off the floor. 545x1 will remain my beltless PR, this Friday I'll do 555...

Pfff. Prius? Call me when you're hoisting a Ram 3500.... lol I bet you were wrecked. Event stuff takes it out of me, fast. I'm like, how the f*ck am I dead and 2 hours have passed and we've done like 3 things? Dragged the sled w/ a gal sitting on it behind me today, and the 2nd time out one of my buddies jumped on it with her, unbeknownst to me - I just kept thinking How did she get so heavy??? lol

Sitting a little deeper into the lap position should help with your log and stones FWIW.

That way its already sitting as high on your chest as possible before exploding out of the bottom position.

Been working on that, even what you saw is an improvement. Between my bad knee and limited mobility, it's only a little far off as good as it gets...

Come on now, I have a bum knee too and still sat deeper than that at TSM when my back was locked up from the herniation.

I know it's hard to think about when the stone is heavy as ****, but it will really make a difference with the ease of loading and conserving as much energy as possible in contests. I know you can get lower than that, its just a matter of doing it.

Practice with lighter stones as many times as it takes for it to become second nature and you probably won't ever have to worry about it again.

Lol fine man...

But seriously, bum knee is temporary from partially tore hamstring. It's something I'm still dealing with but I'll be trying to sit deeper with my next log session, trust me.

Well, I'd be careful with that hammie for a while with the heavier stuff. But I think you will be OK to sit down with the lighter stones.

Honestly, when I lap a stone I usually just sit back against my calves and use the weight of the stone/log to counterbalance. That would be your best bet IMO.

I'll practice it more after this next show. The event is 240 stone for reps, so I'm planning to one motion most of the reps and will sit down with it once I get fatigued.

16" frame? Is that the wheel that goes on the bar to simulate a block?

Where is justanotherj?

No, you're thinking the Rogue wagon wheels?

This was a trap bar with me gripping a plate's handles outside the normal grip. So imagine a neutral wide grip deadlift, simulates a frame. I'll DM you a vid on IG.

Being weak elsewhere...
 
That is exactly what I was thinking. Thanks for the DM.

Very cool - awesome to watch it all after reading, and the speed up kept it moving along. Idk how the f you made that yoke look so easy - I tried to get under 570 after pulling the other weekend when a buddy was practicing out back and I got it like 10 ft maybe. It was swinging around like pendulum on me and I was basically staggering in a zig zag.

Thanks man. Start working up light weight and getting a smooth start, then short choppy strides. This is the heaviest I've ever done by 80lbs, so I was happy with this but want to move it faster.

Thanks people, ended up failing hard at my best event (stones), going from 9th (log), to 5th (and possibly top 3 if I perfomed well on the stones), to finishing 7th.
