Had a mate today for a full body sesh at Doherty’s City Gym. A bit of a strange session with new movements in log press and prowler push to play with.

@BEAst_in_I @duketheslaya teach me to log plox. I think I strict Press as much as I push press because never trained leg drive. Also the clean is shit maybe if I dip deeper I can get a better clean. On earlier Sets I cleaned that way and it moved better I think. log is a lot of fun. Too much fun

Prowler was fun but the floor was unbelievably shitty for it lol

Bench 100kg
Log ?? maybe 70kg?
Dips BW+10kg
Back Squat 60kg
Front Squat 20kg
Leg Press
Prowler

Hey Hamster you’ve been having that back pain for too long my friend.
Time to get a x ray or scan or something… Just to be certain it isn’t something serious.

But log pressing any pressing over head is putting some strain to the back, so how did the back feel about that?

Nice little session and some nice log presses.

For learning the leg drive, do some pause push presses. Bunch of really light sets slowly building up to ingrain the technique. Martins Licis on Instagram: "LOG PRESS (with a double pause) .
💥 Adding a pause in the dip, before initiating leg drive, and a second pause in the drop under the weight, helps reinforce posture, force alignment, and lockout stability. . 🔥 Setup: ▪️Set feet approximately shoulder width apart. ▪️Take a hold of the log with handles slightly angled away from you, and deadlift it to lockout while maintaining the angled handles. ▪️With the log resting on the bottom of your thighs, squat deep into the hole, (maintaining that the handles are angled slightly away from you). ▪️While in the hole, pull log tight into your sternum, and extend your hips forcefully into the log while rowing it into your body and simultaneously rolling it up your chest and into your neck. ▪️While standing with the log on your shoulders, take a deep breath, raise your elbows, and push the log tight into your chin. . ☄️ Movement: ▪️Squat down by pushing your knees OUT and maximally flexing glutes. Your torso should stay perfectly upright, and your hips should travel straight down. ▪️Make sure your elbows remain high, and that the log tension with your chin increases (NOT decreases). This will ensure that the log is resting on your body, so that your leg drive translates directly upward into the implement. ▪️Pause in the deepest position possible in the squat, while maintaining even tension through your feet and an unchanged upright posture. If your torso angles, or you lose tension in your heels, you’ve squatted too deep. Think shallow and powerful.
▪️Forcefully extend your hips, knees, and ankles as if to jump through the weight. ▪️Immediately upon full triple extension, drop down back into a mini squat while continuing to drive upward with your arms. Que: press your body down as if pushing on a ceiling. ▪️Hold that squat for a split second pause, then stand to complete the lift. ▪️Lower weight down to shoulders/neck, and repeat these movement steps for the designated number of repetitions."

Do you do the McGill big 3 before lifting? That’s what is recommended in Gift of Injury, it’s a pain in the ass and adds a bit of time but it seems like it’s worth it, I feel like it improves my bracing. That book says that Brian Carroll was doing it for 4-3-2 reps, I suppose that’s enough unless you want to specialize in the McGill big 3 rather than actually lifting weights. When my back was hurting it immediately felt better (not 100% but a noticeable improvement) after the big 3.

I’m supersetting it during lower body days to get it in while saving as much time as possible. So beforehand would be more beneficial?

Thanks very much u legend

Log press / OHP doesn’t bother the back at all so far. I don’t hit it too often though. I may get a scan in future but not too sure itll be useful. Serious pathology wise i don’t have any of those red flags and apparently there’s a decent chance of findings on scans being non symptomatic like not the actually cause. So it’s an option/tool but maybe not for now.

I fucked around with a rep or two of push jerking and it didn’t feel half bad lol. I don’t think i’ll ever split jerk but i think i’ll play with the log every time i come through.

Sure man. If you have questions or want to clarify something, go ahead and ask

I gotta get you back on leg days and less on upper body so I can catch up with the pull ups. Lol

That’s what is recommended. It’s not just about getting the work done, aside from strengthening your core muscles it also helps to activate them and according to McGill will result in increased core stiffness for the next hour or two. You could try doing something else but it might not work. And personally I hate the idea of supersetting anything with squat, bench, or deadlift unless you aren’t actually trying to get stronger.
