Don't flame me.

I'm genuinely curious. Your numbers are very bizarre. How is it a huge guy like you benches 315 for reps like me? On the other hand, your triceps extension weights are insane?!? And your deads are like 150 pounds over mine (I'm 405 for reps). Is this because you are selecting the muscle groups most important to your events? I would imagine so. Obviously, benching is not very important to you and deads are, for example.

Assuming I am on the right track, what muscle groups and movements are most important for your events? Do you alter squat or bench form from pl form in some way to give yourself greater applicability to your events? I am always interested in how people tailor their training to their specific needs. Any info you could provide would be great.

Good questions. Yes I am not terribly concerned with bench strength as it doesn't translate over to strongman very well. Also I am not a very good bencher my max is 405 no shirt and comp form. As for movements I focus on: Core strength, legs, lower back, and grip are all very important that's why I do heavy rack pulls, heavy abs, and heavy rows. Also shoulder strength is very important not only for pressing but for holding.

Also right now I have been focusing on form more than weight on all my exercises especially squat and deadlift.

well hop to it!

the offer still stands on the grape smugglers and if you need it "pro-tan". spray pam works better than those more expensive BB oils!

Ok you almost made me vomit there.LOL

No grape smugglers, I am only planning on getting down to 285-290 so don't think I'll be posing for anyone anytime soon. Also no pam I don't need to be greased up to scare my former classmates, at least not in the way that being coated in pam would do.

Hammer Strength machine that is a set of bars with the end anchored and the weights go out near your hands. Wanted to do rack pull but the power rack was being used for.........squatting yep it was hard to believe but true.
