AOS Strong Man Log

 

First profiled in MOS 43 the strong man log is more than just an accessory or “tool in our toolbox” as we like to say.  It has become an obstacle or goal for many of our Punch Gym members; it is the proverbial Mount Everest of the gym.  If you’ve never lifted the log you can’t help but look on in admiration as someone else lifts it up and over their head; and if you have reached that lofty goal you can’t help but boast to those around you that you can, in fact, lift it too.  For most people the routine is the same, they approach slowly, as if to creep up on it.  Once positioned in front of it they kick and roll it with their feet, most turn and walk away as if they never intended to lift it at all, all they while saying to themselves, “next time…when not so many people are around…just in case I don’t quite get it to the top.”

In our gym, the log has become an integral part of our workouts, as taunting and menacing as I may have portrayed it.  Anthony has us use it for cleans, chest presses, push presses even push-ups.  It’s versatile, sturdy and virtually indestructible.  Definitely a must have for hard core enthusiasts.

Made from a solid tree truck the log comes in both large and small sizes, depending on the time of year and location, the logs range in weight from 165-200lb for the large and 80-100lb for the small.  Each log comes constructed with built in steal grips for a strong hold and Olympic weight extensions on either end, affording you the opportunity to add even more weight.

The benefits of using the log over a similar, more traditional style of working out is that the log requires a  more natural pattern of movement allowing for strength training with less chance of injury as well as strength training for those rehabbing an existing injury.

The log in now available in 2 additional finishes; Cedar or Natural Stain.  The staining offers a 7 year protection for fungal growth, warping, cupping and lessens the chance of splitting.
