The Log Press is a strength training exercise commonly used in strongman competitions. It involves lifting a heavy, cylindrical log overhead, testing both upper body strength and stability. Athletes typically perform this lift from a standing position, using their legs and core to generate power before pressing the log overhead. This exercise primarily targets the shoulders, triceps, and upper back muscles. Proper technique is crucial to avoid injury, as the log's awkward shape can make it challenging to balance. Training for the Log Press often includes variations like the overhead press and push press to build the necessary strength and technique.
