The Unusual Training Bar That Builds Unusual Strength
How would you like to train with one of Dr. Ken's
favorite pieces of equipment?
Dear Friend,
If you're into serious strength training, you know the name Dr. Ken Leister.
Dr. Ken's name is synonymous
with hard, brief, ultra-intense workouts and top quality equipment. If you've been lucky enough to visit Dr. Ken's
place (or luckier still, to train there) you know that this is undoubtedly the truth.
Back in the 1970's Dr. Ken worked for
Arthur Jones at the old Nautilus training facility in Deland and later at Lake Helen, Florida.
While he was there,
Dr. Ken (and many more people besides) got to experience strength training like it had never been done before (or since.)
Any time spent around
Arthur Jones was guaranteed to be memorable. While he was down there, Dr. Ken got to train with a unique bar that Arthur had welded up
- it was for pressing specifically, and featured two parallel grip handles.
It was an early version of a log bar. Dr. Ken got
outstanding results while training with it and never forgot it.

Now you too Can Train Like Dr. Ken
Fast forward a few years and Dr. Ken tried to replicate this concept in a
number of different ways.
While actual logs with parallel handles imbedded
into them have been used in the past for various kinds of training, these were
impractical for what Dr. Ken needed them for; real logs are unwieldy, difficult to
load, difficult to transport and difficult to store.
They dry out, chip, crack and
otherwise are not durable enough to stand up to constant use.
Besides these reasons, there was another problem with solid logs. You see, Dr. Ken
trains athletes of all ages and experience levels. Since real logs are solid, the
starting weight was often too heavy for many athletes to train effectively with them,
thus depriving these athletes of several valuable training exercises.
But Dr. Ken didn't let any of that stop him. He knew what he needed in a Log Bar Trainer
then found someone who knows what they are doing to put it together. The result became the very best Log Bar trainer available today. You may have read about this Log Bar in several
articles in Hardgainer Magazine.
Designed, Built, Used and Recommended by Those Who Actually Train,
Not Arm-Chair, Pencil Neck Geek "Experts"
Far too many pieces of equipment that you might see advertised elsewhere are created by folks who
have never trained a day in their lives. Are they interesting? Possibly. Useful? Not really.
Now how is that going to help you get stronger?
Not to mention that
page after page of boring equipment specs makes a pretty good cure for insomnia...
This one sure ain't like that.
Here are the short n' sweet details and highlights
that make this the World's Best Log Bar. First of all, it was created according to Dr. Ken's
Specification so you know it has to be good. For the detail minded:
Length: 5 feet - Saves you shipping because it can be sent through the mail and won't take up too much room in your gym
Weight: 35 pounds - Light enough for younger athletes, with enough loading space for even the strongest men in the world
Solid steel frame - Utterly bombproof, you'll pass it on to your kids and grandkids
Knurled 1 3/8 inch diameter handles - The perfect fit for ease of use in all movements
Enough loading capacity for an adult male gorilla - Yes, you could fit over 500 lbs on the Log Bar if you wanted to
Bar ends are milled down to the Olympic Standard 1.95 inch diameter - so your plates are guaranteed to fit on it (and at no extra charge, like other places)
Other Custom options are available upon request - Need a specific length, width or handle size? We can make it happen for you

My Highest Recommendation
Like every single product featured on this site, I recommend the log bar for some very specific reasons:
I train with it, it is the highest quality and, most importantly of all, it works. It's just got that good mojo to it.
Add log bar training to your program and you will know exactly what I am taking about. You'll be pleasantly surprised too; just don't
blame me when you need a whole new wardrobe.
