Thread: benefit of pressing with a log

Not one person can tell me why ?

I think it is just more of a challenge and looks a bit more interesting in competition than a plain looking barbell.

If you mean a log as in on of these http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1UCVvwIIIk then the benefit would be that your are hitting the chest muscles in a different way than normal. Obviously this is always good in terms of switching things up to keep the muscle guessing.

funny coz i do alot of log pressing over head but dont use chest muscle i use my delts

benefit of log pressing is for strongman purposes .

you dont have to pay for the bar you just need to find a tree in your local park and go redneck on its a55

Don't press them you'll get smelly fingers
