dang dude thats sweet!

There is no way i could clean the log like you do, i have to get my chest more over it and squat with it a bit, to get that roll up my body. You basically just hammer curled it up, you beast!

What exercises helped you get your log up?

Nice clean and press, bro. The clean and press is becoming one of my favorite exercises... I think it's a lot of fun. Of course, I don't do it w/ 330 lb strongman logs, but still.

Well, before I start, let me say that my clean style sucks, I can press more than I can clean, so def. don't imitate my style ... the whole lap and roll is better, but I have thick chest, and long arms so it aint easy. Pressing has always been good for me which is weird causeI have long arms. For log, my recommendations are heavy flat bench (weird, better you never heard that before), behind the neck presses on the smith machine, laterals, and lots of rear delt work with a strong emphasis on isolation, heavy trap training (I use farmer walks and farmer pick and hold's, not shrugs) You also have to squat to strengthen the core ... it is not easy to hold something so big, ackward and heavy over your head and stand still at the same time. Most importantly, stretch out your low back a lot to be able to bend it to an obstuse 135 degree angle. This enables you to lean back more, and use your front delts, chest, and tris to press it, and medial,rear delts and traps to stabilize yourself. (you are stronger on an incline bench, not a military press) The log is ackward, and IMO it is not as efficient to throw it and catch it like you would a normal jerk. Watch Zydrunas Savickas and Derek Poundstone, they both press the log the same way I do.

I bet they're expensive. I was in Walmart the other day and had to grab a dumbbell collar, and I was just looking at the free-weights they were selling, 25's, 45's, etc. - they were pretty much $1/lb.. I figured Wally World would be cheaper.. But a 335 lb log gotta cost quite a few bucks!
