WHY USE A LOG BAR?
The log lift, a cornerstone of Strong(wo)man training, harkens back to the rugged tradition of hoisting actual wooden logs. This blend of historical grit and modern technique creates a uniquely challenging and rewarding exercise.
Here are the benefits:
Strengthens stabiliser muscles: Lifting with a log bar requires greater activation of stabilising muscles than traditional barbells, leading to improved overall functional fitness and balanced muscle development.
Improved grip strength: The log bar's larger diameter and cylindrical shape make it harder to hold, significantly enhancing your grip strength. This is particularly beneficial for athletes in sports that require a vice-like grip, such as Strong(wo)man.
Shoulder stability: When pressing or lifting the log bar, your shoulders are placed in a neutral position, reducing the risk of injury and making it an excellent pressing tool for those with shoulder issues.
Versatile training tool: While essential for strongman training, the log bar is also great cross-training for other athletes, including powerlifters. It adds variety to your workouts by challenging new muscle groups, improving overall strength and conditioning.
STRENGTH SHOP STEEL LOG
Designed primarily for Strong(wo)man training, this log barbell is a fantastic tool for any serious strength athlete.
The Strength Shop Steel Log is perfect for developing the unique strength and skills required in Strong(wo)man competitions. It allows you to train for log presses, carries, and cleans.
Using a log can also benefit other strength athletes looking to add a new training stimulus to their program. Lifting with a Steel Log can improve your stabiliser muscles and enhance your grip strength, which is important for virtually all strength training (as well as other sports, such as grappling, climbing, and more).
What is the main benefit of using a Log Bar? The Log Bar is most popular with strong(wo)men looking to train for competitions. As well as getting you ready for events, it’s also great for strengthening your often-underdeveloped stabiliser muscles, which can reduce injury risk.
Is this log bar suitable for beginners? Yes, the Strength Shop Steel Log is suitable for athletes of all levels. However, if this is your first time lifting with a log, we recommend starting light and building up your technique.
Does the Log Bar come with a warranty? All Strength Shop barbells – including the Steel Log – come with a 2-year manufacturer's warranty.
Good product. I decided to go for a 'light' log and although I haven't much comparison data, the advantages for warming up and for GETTING THE DAMN THING IN AND OUT OF THE SHED are considerable. 60k logs are very unwieldy. I have no idea what the loading limit is on this, but unless your name is Zydrunas, it's going to go heavy enough.

Top quality as always
As always this from StrengthShop this product is brilliant. It is a solid unit, heavy duty and appears robust. There was a slightly cheaper one on the market(not by much) but you get what you pay for and everything I have bought from yous in the past has been top quality. But well and buy once. It was also delivered in two days

Buy it
As a personal trainer, this was the better option for a log because it allows for different strength levels. The powder coat has chipped away a little which shows the metal underneath, but it's lifting equipment, so not worried. Amazing total body movement. And your barbell press should increase too.
