Donāt you unrack it like a front squat?

Isnt that for push press?
I start both from the front rack and cues your core to be as braced as if you were actually front squatting so is advantageous for whichever press you do.

Hmm , il give it a try . Im assuming once im unracked moved arms into correct position obviously. Im also guessing its slightly beneficial towards front squatting?
Probably unless you want to do some overhead tricep extensionsā¦
Probably a tiny bit because some of the technique/positioning/bracing overlaps i.e. pretty much technique and mobility work for the front rack position.

This front squat talk is missing the point. Snags are the national food!
Do you at least like Four nā Twenty pies?

WAs strongest man and woman was fucking awesome. I mainly just wanted to see the log prrss and deadlift medley but the yoke/car walk, axle tire squat was awesome too. I left after the deadlift medley and there was still atlas stones and one more.
I got to see a 140kg log press, 275kg deadlift bar deadlift, 300kg axle tire deadlift, 400kg car walk which were my favourites.
I wish it was a deadlift max instead of trap bar deadlift and deadlift bar Ć1 then axle bar tire deadlift for max reps, they could have maxed out at 310 kg probably on the deadlift bar.
Was there from 9 till 2 and got sunburnt as shit.

Well guess who caught the strongman bug lol, iv been thinking about it for ages but now i actually want to do strongman. The closest gym with strongman stuff is golds gym port kennedy (20 minutes bus trip away roughly). It has a dedicated strongman room and outside strongman as well. . One of WAs strongest men that i met yesterday invited me there and when i told people i train at snao fitness they just craxked up laughing lmao.Theres a class there on tuesdays once a week. Theres also a golds gym in rockingham which i can go straight after school but im not sure theres strongman stuff. If i get a membership at golds it gives me access to port kennedy,mandurah, and rockingham. Mandurah also has strongman stuff but thats further away then port kennedy.

RIP powerlifting teletubby. Iāll replace you with a powerlifting @guineapig whose hunger for rep PRs cannot be satiated nor will his devotion to the almighty Church of the IPF/Affiliates be shaken by mere strongman circus acts lel.
*Hunger for Rep PRs and Devotion to Powerlifting Intensifies
Maybe see if you can get a free trial/pass to check out the gym/s and their equipment before you get stuck with a shitty contract. Get a feel for the gym and its members/atmosphere before you commit.
In the mean time chuck some searches into google maps and see what comes up. Where I am thereās a decent strongman/powerlifting/OL gym close-ish and didnāt even know it until I had a google of it.
At worst you can try to make do with what you got tho it wonāt be as fun without all the toys:

For getting your roots down in strongman, you really donāt need much. Really, just getting gym strong will go a long way, even without implements. You want to make sure youāre strong across a broad range of reps rather than just max singles, and you want a solid conditioning base. While away from implements, if you can find something heavy to pick up and run with (rocks are good, sandbags are easy to DIY, kegs arenāt too hard to acquire), thatāll be good. If you can get an old car tire, you can tie a rope around it and drag it to make a sled. Spend time sprinting and jumping and throwing. Basically, be an athlete, not just a lifter.

@duketheslaya: Any press or jerk you walk out of the rack, walk out starting with a clean grip (elbows up and in, bar more in the tops of your hands), then once you have walked it out you can lower your elbows a tad and out (still in front of the bar if you are push pressing or jerking, and if you press like I do then that too), bringing the weight deeper into your hands while it still resting on your chest. You still need your chest to stay up when you do drop your elbows though.
Hope you have fun with the strongman stuff, itās a pretty nice and well rounded sport as far as physical demands. It requires you to be fast, strong, powerful, and to have some good strength endurance/cardio.
