There's a lot to say about The Log, but perhaps we should start by saying that it's made from over forty kilos of steel.

In recent times, there has been a shift away from strength training styles to "old school" methods that transfer directly into athletics – and life – itself.

The log, along with the atlas stone, is one of the more "conventional" tools used in strongman training. It can be used for Olympic lifts like the clean-and-press and snatch, as well as their constituent movements (military, push press, and jerk), as well as bent-over rows and partial bench presses. The Iron Edge Log is constructed from a single, solid, fully welded piece and finished with a textured, matte black powder coat. The Log's 50mm sleeves accommodate Olympic weights and Lock Jaw collars for a total of up to 200 additional kilograms, which can be added as your growing muscles need them.
