Throwback to the 1990s - when I won 5 National Championships in the bench press - while doing plenty of heavy power rack work and benching just once a week.

Yesterday’s workout included 3 sets of these bad boys - log press isometrics with chains for handles - a fun and effective exercise!

Nine players from the East Jefferson Rivals football team showed up for a hard workout at the beach on Thursday - and they did a great job! I’m very proud of these hard working athletes!

ISO-hold log press - part 2 - using 2 short log chains to make handles - these work the heck out of your shoulders and upper back. Fun stuff!

For context on the previous post showing the log press with chains, here’s a better look at the same log - it’s a monster! Using it for isometric curls in this video.

This was interesting - I wrapped 2 short lengths of heavy chain around a log, held the ends together and used them as handles - allowing a sort of clean followed by an iso -hold in the press - of course, you need to keep a tight grip on the chain - hold the log in front of you rather than over your head - and let the chains go loose and unravel as you lower the log (to keep from breaking your wrist). I also used the chains to do bent over rowing, shrugs and RDLs with the logs. Good stuff.

Yesterday’s workout was pretty simple - walk 1.5 miles to the beach - carry logs for 2.5 miles - do 50 minutes of isometric and iso-hold exercises with logs - walk home. High tech it is not - effective it is.

An old school isometric rack - not a power rack, but rather, a 2-post wooden rack for pure isometric exercises. Raise your hand if you ever used one - or have ever seen one!
