i've never heard of anything special but don't have weak areas, i'm just weak. mostly the guys i train with just focus on the events, which when heavy are training enough for the torso.
- farmers walk, sort of taxing but body weight plus in each hand is an extra special level of fun.
- front squats, low rep and high rep on occasion.
- also a lot of bottom position work in box squats, pin squats, zerchers etc without a belt helps,
- a bunch of top end work (rack work, high box) with a belt or PL suits seems to help even more. heavy overhead supports stuff like that.
