Logs
| One of the opening scenes of the Arnold Schwarzenegger movie, "Commando," has always epitomized to me the ruggedness of lifting or carrying a huge log. |
It's a goofball movie that I saw as a kid, but this particular scene always stuck with me. Arnold in his still big, post-Conan days, is living atop a mountain with his young daughter. He goes up the mountain to get firewood presumably, cuts this HUGE log, well at least it looked huge to me at the time, folds up his shirt, sticks it on his shoulder, puts the log on his shoulder and proceeds to walk back down the mountain.
Now we all know that ol' Arnie didn't do this, it was a movie stunt. Real rugged men who've cut timber and built muscle that was beyond that of normal humans have done it since the beginning of civilization. Old school pre-machine based lumberjacks were some of the baddest hombres around. I met one recently at an exhibition I did for a little church in north Florida.
He didn't lift weights, but he grew up working in the old-style pulpwood. That basically means that he lifted log after log after log, loading them onto trucks. This was one big, tough looking dude, with some of the thickest forearms and hands I've seen. And I've seen some big strong guys and not easily impressed. He was obviously a powerful guy. Real strength built in the old tradition of super-heavy, manual labor.
Gives you that kind of strength.
A strength that we miss by lifting purely barbells or any other type of training.
A power that changes the way you look
The way you move
The way you act
The way other people perceive you
A power that molds even into your character
To get back to the old training. To the time when there were no excuses, no cheating, you just got the job done by back-breaking, man-making work. Work that made you tougher inside and out. That's part of what lifting logs can do for you and why we put together a course to show you how to do it.
Over 50 exercises in all. FIFTY exercises showing you how to lift all kinds of logs. Work every muscle in the body and be as tough as a nail you might drive into one of them.
Log lifting has come about as a unique style in modern strongman competition. So what we've tried to do here is combine the old time lifting style of rugged workmen with the education that I got growing up on a small farm with the exercises of the classic pre-steroid era and the modern use of the log in strongman competition.
As well as exercises with natural logs or pieces of telephone pole without special handholds.
If you wanted to learn how to lift logs for strongman competition then this is definitely a great course for you, but we wanted to make it more than just that.
We didn't want you to be limited to just the competition style.
Here are a few of the exercises that we put on this tape.

As you can see, this doesn't just teach you how to clean and press.
We talk not only about how to use the log, but about different types of logs to use.What size logs are appropriate for what things.
What size handles to put on a log.
You name it.
And Real, Heavy lifting. Not just showing you hot to do it, but actually doing the exercises with real weight.
How about these?
Pressing a 300lb log
Push pressing a 340lb log
Cleaning a 400lb log
Continental to the belt with a 450lb log
Deadlifting a 500lb log
Shouldering a 400lb giant log
Log lifting is no joke. It built the old time workmen into phenomenal physical specimens and that's the reason that it's commonly in strongmen contests all over the world today. Lifting, pressing and generally training with those thick tree trunks with their odd center of gravity and almost resistive nature builds huge, muscular men.
You can be as big strong and tough as the men we grew up learning about. You just have to get the knowledge and put in the work. Well we put the knowledge in one convenient package right here for you. You supply the guts, the burning, desire, and the free flowing sweat.
Don't wait around. We put it all right here for you and just about gift wrapped it.
Do yourself a favor and add this to your tool bag.
Add it to your knowledge and motivation.
Pick up the course and put in the work.
