Log Lift

A signature strongman lift, the log press builds full-body power with emphasis on clean technique and explosive overhead strength.

Instructions

1. Start with the log on the ground in front of you and grip the handles firmly.
2. Pull the log toward your chest while driving through your hips to stand tall.
3. Rest the log on your upper chest and prepare for the press.
4. Use a dip and drive technique — bend your knees slightly, then push upward with force.
5. Extend your arms to press the log overhead while driving your head forward between your arms.
6. Lower the log with control and repeat. Use a spotter or safety blocks if needed.
