  • Shaolin Log Lifting


    • They may not lift barbells but they still lift "weights". This particular Shaolin Monk is shown building shoulder and upper-body strength with a wooden log. ~ Any kind of object can build strength, so long as it is trained with in a progressive manner.

  • Log Lifting - Marines Style


    • Log Drills like this one have been used by the military for well over a century to build strength, endurance and teamwork. And they are still used today. Although if you have memories of training with a log just like this one, I'm sure they aren't fond ones... because they don't make it very enjoyable! (Which is an understatement.)
