improvment is a MUST !! Member 1407, 1629 posts SQ 215, BP 187.5, DL 270 672.5 kgs @ 105kgs UnEq	Post Edited: 10.11.2011 @ 12:20 PM by wjmxm21 After dabbling with a bit of log pressing, i've realised that my clean needs a lot of work. What are the best methods in cleaning the log to shoulder height?

Continental/belt clean- i think the log would be a bit too thick to balance on the belt. Squat Clean- In one succinct motion the athlete explodes upright in triple extension, simultaneously rolling the log up the chest to the shoulders, arriving in an upright position, ready to press. The log stays in contact with the torso throughout this movement. -not sure how id go about this one??

crushed the generals chance of 6th place Member 588, 5477 posts SQ 200, BP 100, DL 200 500.0 kgs @ 84kgs UnEq	They are pretty easy (Generally) once you get the hang of them. I find its similiar to stone lifting technique if you are familiar with that. I start by lapping the log, make sure the log is sitting on your lap as if it was on the ground, ie with the handles parallel to the ground, that way when it rolls round your body it will be higher. From the lap position you just throw your hips through will pulling the log into your body and let it roll up onto your shoulders. Most people clean this way.

Man up and have a fuckin coffee Member 2086, 9717 posts SQ 340, BP 252.5, DL 300 892.5 kgs @ 158kgs UnEq	Pick it off the floor,sit completely in the hole with the handles facing almost away from you,(make sure you chalk your gut)as you come up keep your shoulders and elbows as far back as possible and the log in tight on the TOP of your belly. Power out the hole and drive hips thru fast whilst leaning back and flicking your wrists back to allow the bar to roll from your staernum onto your collar bone.

thinner after lockdown Member 594, 4166 posts SQ 100, BP 80, DL 100 280.0 kgs @ 120kgs Eq	if youve got a power gut then its pretty easy, just put the log ontop of the gut and stand up while rolling the log back.

I was swinging out of control like an ape Member 1559, 4075 posts SQ 180, BP 100, DL 202.5 482.5 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq	might not be the best as the speed was slow as its the heaviest log ive cleaned, but I opt for this technique, hope it helps

Lift the log on to your legs in the crook of your hips. Pull the elbows back, Hard thrust with hips and make sure the elbows come out in front. May sometimes be necessary to give it a second hop to get it al the way up on to your chest. If it has not completely rolled on to the chest before you try to press you will lose it in front.

Make sure your wrists are touching the cut outs by the handle. that way you will prevent any slip from the log as you power out of the hole. And at the top push your elbows forward to stop the log falling forward off you chest.
