Watch the full video on the elitefts YouTube > 'The Log Press Mistake Keeping You Under 300 Lbs'
Most lifters miss heavy log presses because they treat the implement like a standard barbell and snap their head through too early. Professional strongman Ollie Clark breaks down the technical mechanics of the pickup, lap, clean, rack position, and the critical knee-drive angle needed to keep the log over your center of mass. Learn how to fix your head position, brace effectively to protect your spine, and instantly add kilograms to your overhead press.
Ollie Clarke will be on Table Talk November 12th, 2026!

🚫 No more slipping boards. No more shoulder pinch. 🚫
If you’ve ever shoved a 2-board under your shirt, prayed it wouldn’t slide, and still felt that front-shoulder sting—you know the struggle.
After tearing up my shoulder, I refused to give up board presses. But training solo meant no one to hold the boards, and flat boards let the bar sink and heave—wrecking the lift. So, I carved some foam, curved the base, and ran the prototype over with my Jeep (it lived).
💥 The Shoulder Saver™ Pad was born.💥
Why it works:
Curved base = no sink-and-pop cheat – Keeps load directly under the bar and forces you to stay tight.
Locks to the bar – Won’t spin or collapse, yet easy to rotate off.
Joint-friendly – Press heavier while sparing your shoulders, pecs, and elbows.
Two sizes for your range:
🖤 Black Pad – ~2-board height for max overload, triceps lock-out, and joint protection.
❤️ Red Pad – ~1½-board height for raw lifters who miss just off the chest or want more controlled range.
How to use: Slide on, set up, touch, press. Pain-free power.

Squat confidence takes exposure. Challenging triples or fives can help you get used to heavy work without testing a max every time.

Your supplements might not contain what you THINK they do. 💊👀
Just because the front of the tub says 1,000 mg doesn’t mean you’re getting 1,000 mg of the ingredient that actually matters.
From protein and creatine to fish oil, magnesium, and electrolytes, understanding supplement labels can save you money and help you make smarter decisions.
The biggest takeaway? Stop buying based on the front of the tub. Start reading the back.
Daniel Edlund breaks down the numbers, misleading labels, and what you should actually look for before buying your next supplement.

If your SS Yoke Bar only comes out on squat day, you’re leaving a useful triceps movement out of the rotation.
Remove the handles and put it to work for the JM press.
The pad gives you a reference for the movement as you work through the press and elbow extension. The goal is controlled triceps work that supports your pressing, not seeing how much weight you can bounce off the pad.
Right now, save $80 on the elitefts SS Yoke Bar.
