What is log press?

The log press is an exercise that involves lifting a log from the ground up to overhead with one fluid motion. It is typically performed by strongman athletes as part of their training. The log used for this exercise is typically made of wood and has a thick handle, which makes it more difficult to grip and lift. The log press is a full-body exercise that primarily targets the shoulder, chest, and triceps muscles. It is a highly effective strength-building exercise that can improve overall physical performance, especially for activities that require upper body strength and explosiveness, such as throwing or lifting heavy objects. The log press requires proper technique and form to execute safely and effectively. It is often included in Strongman competitions as a benchmark strength feat.
