Uh, wow, nice?!

Thank you sir. Log work is finally clicking a bit. However, thereā€™s still a biiiiig disparity between my 1RM and my higher rep strength.
For 175ā€™ers, the world record is 302 for a log press. Maybe something to look forward to if I can keep my weight down?

727

dude the MW record is 400 and most MW amā€™s cant even press a 300+ log.

728

I may be talking out of my butt, but Iā€™ve used a log less than 10 times, and have only trained overhead movements for a couple years. Regardless of what happens, its a cool goal to shoot for. On the other hand, the deadlift record for LWā€™s is 705 :slightly_frowning_face:

729

Youā€™re right, youā€™ve got a solid log for a 175er. 260 was the weight for reps at nationals in that class and I donā€™t know how many, but a lot zeroā€™d it. At the same time though, winner must have gotten like 4-6 reps.

Lol, I could maybe do 160-180 for 6 :smile:

Hadnā€™t tried theseā€¦thanks to you I now haveā€¦and once again feel massively inferior haha these are no joke

733

Cutting back on my training tonnage (especially upper body) has helped a lot with recent progress. I like how these can feel difficult while keeping the load low. Also, seems to be a decent TUT movement because if you do any part too fast youā€™ll hit yourself in the head :smile:

3 mile hike up a steep motorcycle trail wearing a 50 lb vest, 50 lb pack, and steel toed boots. Tried to keep pace with my dad, I think he took my added load as a bit of a challenge. Didnā€™t go well.

Sadly not at the same time, just a note that my occasional disparity between sides wasnā€™t there

Impressive nonetheless
