There is a slight problem:

my triceps get hit on each of my three WO's be it indirectly (bench, military, CGBP) or directly (extensions, pushdowns)

And I have a feeling that adding in dips would be overtraining. But I don't know if dips>CGBP or dips<CGBP.

Without knowing your goals, your routine, your schedule, your lift numbers, your experience, your weakpoints, it is definitly hard to recommend much of anything.

Lifts are just tools to improve weaknesses, we have no idea what your weaknesses are.

Once again, your unhelpful comments have no place here. I've stated that I've READ through the SS site and frequently ask question on there too.

GTFO of my threads, I checked your posts - and I realised that you have no goals, you never say what you are, why your here, what sport you do, etc. You never post your lifts or your creds, and comment on seemingly random combos of threads. Your signature is trying to convince us all your not a troll (classic sign of a troll).

Note all lifts are in KILOS (1kg = 2.2lbs)

Squat - 125kg
Bench - 82.5kg
Press - 50kg
Snatch - 40kg
Cleans - havent done for a while, but best was 67.5kg
CGBP - 60kg

I've jerked 67.5kg, and push pressed over 50kg several times. Neither were max efforts.

Son, I was just trying to help you by posting an article on good lifts for throwers.

I never make any claims because I'm not going to back them up so what's the point? You can take my input or leave it, I don't care.

"Your throws suck" - good input? No, it's not. Why? Becuase they don't suck. In the UK, that puts me at a top level - and I made them all, from standing, without a coach.

"Get on Rippetoes now" - the program I've been doing for the past year which stopped working? The program wich DOESNT improve throws once lifts start to slow down (in terms of bar speed).

Well the slow lifts (squat, deadlift) make you better at the fast lifts (powersnatch, powerclean) which make you better at throwing.

And if that's the level in the UK then ok I guess.

Just lift heavy and fast.... and get a coach....
