Matspence		Log press or axle press	30-05-2010 @ 09:55
Member 1391, 693 posts	Just a quick one as I'm doing the seven valley comp this year and there is a log press I was just wondering if the log press is easyer or harder lift then a axle press, the reason I ask is because I can't get my hand on one as yet ( saving up for one ) but I'm doing a single lift with axle at 110 do u think I should be able to lift moor or less then this I totally understand the clean motion is completely different, many thanks mat

Nothing left in the tank. Member 5, 25565 posts Administrator	yea , you could probably just pick up the log and clean n press it ...but mabie have a crack with a lighter/unloaded one...if its 100k+ it may come as a bit of a shock sitting ontop of your chesticles..

has a shit deadlift lockout Member 696, 379 posts SQ 240, BP 155, DL 265 660.0 kgs @ 115kgs UnEq	some people find the neutal hand position (palms facing eachother) harder, i don't tend to get as much leg drive off a log as i do an axle, i guess the log you'll be using the is the Ifsa spec one that mike and steve have. in that case, it is set a little infront of you due to the diamter of the log. try neutral grip dumbell press, may be humbling at first but that and bar overhead should get you by...

Let me show you how to do a hitler Member 1070, 433 posts SQ 275, BP 220, DL 310 805.0 kgs @ 116kgs UnEq	I prefer the axle press log throws me off balance, the log is easier to clean and you can basically just roll it up your chest but harder to press in my opinion
