How to perform

Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, the log in front of you on the ground. Grip the handles firmly and prepare for the clean phase. Roll the log onto your lap, position it securely, and then explosively lift it to chest height. Stabilize the log against your chest and shoulders. Use leg drive and upper body strength to press the log overhead, ensuring full control and lockout. Achieve full extension with arms locked, elbows straight, and the log stabilized overhead. Wait for the judge’s signal to complete the lift. Lower the log under control to the ground or lap to reset. Dropping the log may result in disqualification.
