Log Press
How to do it
- Start with the log bar racked across your shoulders and chest, feet shoulder width apart, gripping the neutral handles.
- Brace your core and dip your knees slightly, keeping your torso upright.
- Drive through your legs and hips to press the log overhead until your arms lock out, working the gluteus maximus, quadriceps, and core along with the shoulders.
- Lower the log back to your shoulders under control, resetting your knee dip for the next rep.
- Exhale as you drive and press, inhale as you lower the log back down.
- Keep the leg drive short and controlled rather than turning the dip into a full squat, which slows the press timing.
