Log Lift

A 200-characters-or-less explanation of the exercise.

Instructions

• Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, knees slightly bent and grab the log from the floor.
• Keeping your back straight, lift the log using your legs and hips until it's on your thighs.
• Use your hips to dip the log, then press it overhead with your arms locked.
• Lower it back steadily and repeat.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Rounding the back which can strain the spine.
• Using arms more than legs in lifting which decreases power and may cause injury.
• Not locking arms overhead which can cause instability.
