It is my feeling that every piece of sophisticated training equipment should come with a training guide... a road map of sorts. My reasoning behind this is simple: if you are someone who may not be experienced with that particular piece of equipment then you would be able to learn the important basic training ideas and methods for using it right out of the box. Sure, you'll come up with your own tweaks here and there as you use it, but having a good idea of what the proper form or a sample workout are supposed to look like are things that would be very helpful from the get-go.

... And if you're someone with a little more experience then you would be able to check out the guide and add to your training knowledge repertoire by finding out some of the other ways of using it that you may not have even realized. Either way, a good training guide is an invaluable tool on your way to strength success and it is our goal to eventually have such a guide for all the pieces of unique strength equipment that we feature.

Today, we are going to start off with the first in the series and that is a training guide devoted to one of our most popular pieces of equipment: Dr. Ken's Log Bar Trainer.

The Log Bar Training Guide is Now Available:

In the past we had a very basic training guide available for Dr. Ken's Log Bar and while it did a decent job of illustrating some of the basic exercises, we felt that a more detailed training guide for this piece of equipment would be preferable.

So, we got on the phone with Dr. Ken and asked if he thought so too... he did... and then we went to work. We took some new pictures, fleshed out many of the exercises descriptions, added some more sample workouts and even contacted some of our other friends (see who they were below) who have been training with the Log Bar for a while now to see some of the ways they had been incorporating it in their program.

And when all was said and done, the new Log Bar training guide turned out spectacularly well. And yes, the information in this guide can be used with just about any parallell handle pressing bar. Keep reading for all the highlights and topics covered:

  • A Look at the "Original" Log Bar and how the modern Log Bar came to be


  • Why the Log Bar is preferable to a Wooden Log


  • 9 Log Bar upper-body exercises (not including variations) which can be performed with the Log Bar


  • Notes on lockouts, heavy partials and rack work with the Log bar


  • Details on the Log Bar Front Squat which is used with great success by a local top college foorball program


  • A unique grip exercise which can be performed with the Log Bar


  • 5 Log Bar "Complex" Workouts for hitting the upper and lower body with a minimum of movements


  • 5 Log Bar Sample workouts utilizing the Log Bar and other basic equipment


  • Dr. Ken's 6-week Log Bar Bench Press Improvement Program


  • The "Single Exercise" Workout routine - for when you have limited equipment



  • The Log Bar Training Guide is fully illustrated with training tips and sample workouts
    The Log Bar can be a very effective alteranative to a straight bar for building upper-body strength. You'll want to check out Dr. Ken's Log Bar Bench Press Program
    Several different workout options are listed for training with the Log Bar. This is a look at Dr. Ken's "Single Exercise Emphasis" section
  • My two favorite Log Bar exercises and how I use them in my workouts


  • An example of my most recent training routine


  • What to do when you hit a training plateau


  • Log Bar training for Stone lifting by Pat "Human Vise" Povilaitis


  • The Log Bar Standing Press Program by Brooks Kubik

  • Yes, that's right, in addition to Dr. Ken and myself, our good friend Pat "Human Vise" Povilaitis and Brooks "Dinoman" Kubik have also contributed Log Bar training information on their favorite workouts. Those are some pretty strong hombres and you are definitely going to want to see what they have to offer.

    As you can see, there is a lot of training information packed into this instructional guide... the basic exercises, sample workouts, training ideas... if you want to get the most out of your Log Bar, you simply need to have this guide as a part of your library. Now, you can order the guide separately if you wish but also keep in mind that when you order a Log Bar from us, we will include a copy of this training guide absolutely FREE.

    This is the only training guide of its kind. You may order your guide, or your Log Bar (or preferably both) using the red button below. We have several cases of the new Log Bar guides available and ready to ship. 55 Pages, lavishly illustrated, many workouts listed... If you want your copy, all you need to do is take action:
