Have you tried barbell waiter’s carries? Moving while holding overhead is a pretty awesome core workout.

I’ve done them with a kettlebell a few times for some light activation, Next push press session I have Holds Programmed again (Next friday, I have 2 press sessions next week) Il try them then.
If you can do a nice long hold at 60 Kg, I’d start with the bar for a warm-up set, then jump to 40 Kg, then 60 depending how 40 feels. Of course, I’m old, so I need a lot more warm-up than you youngsters.

It depends on how i feel really, Some days if I feel utter garbage Il do lots of warmup sets and that helps and others just a couple
You’re not from Australia. You’re a typical Texan.

I’m guessing it’s alot harder to hold once you’re moving with it.
Texas is basically American Australia

You reckon for the clean and press event if lifters can jerk it instead of press that they will perform better? I mean weightlifters get the most weight locked out overhead no?
Definitely. Then again you don’t see guys like Big z Split jerking the world record or even the Axle wr and I think that’s due to their size and mobility issues. But then that argument is contradicted by Rob Kearney lol:

I is confusion. But yeah i definitely think the jerk adds alot of kg
Rob Kearney started split jerking right away when he started strongman and has been doing so for a decade. He knew that was his best path and its worked out great for him. Most of the other guys would get weaker trying to split jerk
