Strongman Log Press: Techniques to Improve Your Clean and Press
The log press isn’t a shoulder exercise. It’s a full-body event disguised as an overhead lift. If you treat it like a barbell strict press, you’ll stall.

Accommodating Resistance: What It Actually Changes, Who It’s For, and How to Program It Without Getting Beat Up
Accommodating resistance is one of the most misunderstood tools in strength training. People treat it like an advanced badge of honor. Chains rattling on a barbell.
