Training by strongman Jirka Vytiska - Log Lift #1
Author: Author Jirka Vytiska
Log Lift - training
When you say Log lift, everyone immediately thinks of an iron or wooden log that is lifted from the ground above your head. I must say that recently this strongman discipline has become very popular and almost everyone wants to try this exercise.
As far as fitness centers or gyms are concerned, they already have a Log or are deciding to get one - the demand is really increasing. The only thing that follows from this is that strongman sport is getting more and more into the public consciousness and people want to lift other equipment than the classic axes.
And now for the training. All in all, the Log Lift isn't just about the shoulders. It's about the whole body! Sure, if I name names, we're engaging - shoulders, triceps, upper pecs, but also biceps, back muscles, and legs too. Like I said - the whole body!
I will try to describe one of my training sessions.
First of all, I have to decide whether I'm going to go lighter training or heavier. And then it's about the number of reps and sets. And actually, it's almost always about maxes. I don't want to go into the technique of the exercises here, and how to do the log itself. I already showed that in the video - see link
So .......nevertrain just the Log Lift itself, it's about other exercises as well.
First the warm up - we all know all too well what that entails, don't we. And here we go.
Training:
| Exercise | Series | Repetition |
| 1. Loglift | Several warm-ups, then 5 work | 3 |
| 2. Front press in multi press | 3 | 3 |
| 3. Narrow benchpress | 3 | 5-8 |
| 4. Triceps extensions with EZ axis standing | 3 | 5-8 |
Guys, this is just a sample workout. You can do different variations and different exercises, but it's still about the Log Lift!
So I wish you lots of strength and do it with your head!
