Log Press Tips from World's Strongest Man Brian Shaw 

Brian Shaw is a true champion and Sling Shot couldn't have a better spokesman. This dude is obsessed with winning and being the best!

I think i'm becoming a Brian Shaw fanboy.... LOVE YOU BRIAN

I just bought a log. I'm so excited to start log pressing in my shoulder routine.

Great tutorial, I have a log at my gym and I've messed with the log a few times prior to this video but never could get the feel for it and I felt as though the weight I was able to do was limited because of it. Used the cues in this vid and it felt noticeably better.

Hands down the best log press break down I've seen. Thanks for the content!!

More strongmen on the channel would be awesome. Kaz, Eddie Hall or Benedikt Magnusson.

It’s crazy coming back to this video, Brian’s whole body somehow got even bigger and even leaner since back then. Hard to believe that was even possible. Finally got my log, so I came back for some tips.

unbelievable, i was just looking for a log press instructional video. not sure if you've searched youtube but there aren't many.

I watched the finals last year's WSM and Shaw was amazing!

I don't get starstruck often, but Brian Shaw is awesome!

THANKS for the vid. BRIAN ! ! ;-) my log arrived today and aft watching this, I can figure how to lift correctly... ( I am age 58, as a former BB heavyweight champ aft 22 Years off, I found my way back to the gym THANKS TO YOUR MOTIVATIONS !!! Please keep up them great vids ;-) greeting from Austria, Franz

Cameraman got some heavy breathing going on while looking at shaw...

I don't think I'll ever c & j a log but man Mr. Shaw does an amazing job of going into details explaining how to press it. I especially liked the cues of where you should feel it (i.e move it to your upper abdomen, tight back all the time, contact with the chest, etc...) he just seems like a all around good person and amazing athlete must be great to hang out with someone that is in the top of his respective sport

thank you Mark for the quality of these videos

This was super helpful!!! Thanks for taking the time to explain it.

this is a badass series of videos.

Bought myself a log from Titan fitness two months ago and it finally arrived! Best gym equipment I have ever used and especially with elbow sleeves and Squatting shoes , it is super fun to use and it a lot more challenging and gives better results

Thank you, the one breath if you can tip worked great for me tonight on max effort log press!

I just started log pressing literally a little over a week ago. found a new gym and saw a log press, grabbed it and managed to get up to 220lbs the first day then I got 235lb right before Thanksgiving failed 240lbs. Everything felt good except I had a problem rolling the log up.. well today I looked up log press technique.. and Brian shaw which im a fan of saves the day. lol I mimicked the tilting the log forward and managed to get 250lbs (wasn't easy) .. I'm 5'9 235lbs so I feel that's not to bad, especially after starting out and only 3 sessions.. POINT IS IM THANKFUL FOR THE VIDEO!! lol GOAL is 300lbs eventually.

Whenever you guys put that particular music at the start of your video it becomes 10x better in my opinion.

Anything with Big Brian is awesome! Great training. Thanks!

Mark you guys should get Rich Piana on the podcast . That'd be sick !

PLEASE MARK I WANT TO SEE YOU OR SILENT MIKE HITTING THE LOG PRESS!!

Please invite Savickas too

Thanks Brian, really appreciate this!

Shaw is an absolute monster. Cool video

Love these videos, its sick how you dont have more subs. Must tell everyone I know

Loving these videos with Brian. Strongman is the best! Would love to see Eddie Hall or Hafþór Björnsson on this channel.

Lov seeing lil baby Brian from 2016

You should get some weightlifters to ST for variety and an opportunity to grow both the channel and different types of training.

How can he be the world's strongest man if Dom Mazzetti is stronger AND way bigger?

Moar Strongmen

Great coach

Very nice 🎉🎉

I am curious about the leg drive, how much leg drive is too much? Should the press look more like a push press rather than a jerk?

Great video

the loglift is pretty awesome. unlike the contortionist back-bow of hell continental cleaned axle lifts we see in strongman comps

Crazy how fast Brian is aging. The sport sure must takes it's toll

What I like about log presses tho in general is how the grip is neutral and I like that. I mean Im use to doing regular overhead press with a straight bar but a neutral grip seems alot easier to use. It'd be nice if there was another type of equipment like the log press with neutral grips (even tho dumbells or kettlebells are options)

Get Alan Thrall on ST!

second! We don't have a log in our gym:(

If we compare Brian’s height (6’8”) when he’s using a 12” log, that’s the equivalent of a 5’6” guy using a 10” log. Food for thought.

Beast.

Scary man

You should have Donnie Thompson out again, it's been a long time. He's been up to a lot of cool things lately.

I'm curious why there are no Pro Strongmen that use a spilt jerk when log pressing. Olympic weightlifters have pressed equal to if not more weight than most contest logs using it, while not being significantly smaller then the average pro strongman. Is the log to unwieldy to jerk or is there another reason?

does he recommend olympic shoes for standard strict press as well?

Zydrunas Savickas is laughing right now.

Are you Shaw?

I need to find a gym that has one of these

What's the intro song I would buy it if it was on itunes.

Gotta ask Rob Kearney for his tips considering he's the champ and holds the record.

What's the music in intro??? help plsss

Brian Shaw is very strong Because He,s called The World,s Srongest Man...

Is there any with stones

woah early to this one

Strict log pressing bothers the hell out of my elbows.

You can lap my log anyday, Brian.

That dude's elbows are thicker than my knees.

Is his right arm smaller than his left?

does strongman not differentiate between press and push press? the "world record" lift at 1:03 isnt even starting off the ground, the elbows dont lock out at the top, control was never demonstrated.

1st!!

Hard to hear over mark's breathing

3rd?

I have a. chainsaw how many you want..

i just want to say >>>>bill kazmaier>>>thats all

Brian Shaw and then you have Halfthor Bjornson

i leg press 1050lb. squat 135 wtf?

That log looks really small.

dem calves

dude camera man fail. i couldnt see what your ankle,knees were doing in the lift. super disapointing.
