#biggef Member 5263, 3492 posts SQ 260, BP 195, DL 260715.0 kgs @ 130kgs UnEq | Hello sugdeners..I've started overhead stuff recently and have made progress however this log press is well bloody hard work and i seemed to have stalled slightl,anyway I wanted to know what rep ranges you work with and sets...I've been doing 5s for five sets sometimes I'll stick a single in there sometimes,also I do bench press before log,as I'm thinking of comp in April and I'm pretty sure bp is not going to be included should I just drop bench? And also breathing is real hard.so any advice from you guys would be much appreciated thank you. | ||

I saw some incredible lifts on log amongst other things. The way we trained log was on a 3 week rotation, week 1 was 3x8, wk2 3x5 and wk3 was 3x3. Then back to the start with additional weight. During 2 cycles of this I added 20kg to my log max, even thought it's still low. My training partner went from a fast 175 to a 180 log triple with lots to spare | ||

 what is everyone's fran time? Member 3986, 10449 posts SQ 340, BP 200, DL 400940.0 kgs @ 129kgs Eq | My advice would be Stick with bench Strict press everything on the log for a while, until you get closer to comp then add in push press. Push press on a bar focussing on loads of leg drive. Press multiple times a week. With the breathing thing heavy cleans for reps should fix it or something my mate suggested to me was cleaning a rep and holding it on the chest for a while before pressing to get you used to pressing under fatigue. My 0.02p although whoever is tripling a 180 log is probably a good person to follow. Who is that? | ||

Always strict pressing log on that routine, and pressing more than once a week. For me personally I founf floor presses really helped my log, but that may well be an individual thing | ||
