Log Lift
- 1 - Begin by positioning the log on the ground in front of you. The log should be clean and dry, and its diameter and weight should be appropriate for your strength level.
- 2 - Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, facing the log. Your toes should be under the log, and your shins should be close to it.
- 3 - Bend at your hips and knees to lower your body down. Reach down and grip the log with both hands. The grip should be overhand, with your palms facing you. Your hands should be evenly spaced on the log.
- 4 - Engage your core and back muscles, then explosively lift the log off the ground. Use your legs and hips to drive the log upward.
- 5 - As the log reaches chest height, quickly flip your elbows under the log, so your forearms are vertical, and the log rests on your chest.
- 6 - With the log on your chest, take a deep breath, brace your core, and press the log overhead. Fully extend your arms until they are locked out.
- 7 - Once the log is overhead, hold it for a moment to demonstrate control.
- 8 - To lower the log, first bring it back to your chest, then carefully lower it to the ground, maintaining control throughout the movement.
