Hardly any strongman events use chest in my experience. Who'd like to see some axle pressing or similar? Plus you get to ly down while you do it! Lol

I did an incline axle press in a comp in Swindon.

Incline log is a strongman event, but it isn't seen much nowadays.

Was a super series (sweden) with Magnus Samuellson as the organiser. Supposedly his last comp it was always going to have bench and arm over arm!

Surprised it didn't have phone book tearing for reps Grin

From a bench? I dont remember that at WSM, but I could be wrong.

They did do a bench press machine at a super series in Sweden that Magnus Samuelson organised, which was a WSM qualifier

EDIT: Beaten to it by the gorilla

And they had Incline log for reps in the WSM Gary Taylor won.


The sweden one was quite cool actually, becasue it didn't have handles or anything iirc just plain big logs and started from the bottom of the lift
