FerraxisWorks.com My first time ever holding a strongman log was competition day. I finished with three successful lifts: 175, 205, and 225 LB overhead. This is my complete log press progression from Wisconsin’s Strongest Man & Woman on October 3, 2026, competing in Novice Men. At 205 LB, I could feel my elbows slowing through the press. I stuck with my original plan: 175 → 205 → 225. All three attempts were successful, with 225 LB as my best lift. A new implement, a competition platform, and plenty to learn.
