 Worked up to log pressing 205 x 3 and then 2 yesterday. Felt bad pain in my arm, which made me stop, then try again and ignore it, and by the end of the session? It actually felt BETTER. Weird stuff that was messing with my head. Next time I'm aiming to do 6 strong reps, no hesitation in mind. Watching a Kalle tutorial on log pressing from last year that I hadn't seen before helped me, too. Pull the weight back with the scapula, like in a bench press almost, and think about pressing overhead and back too. My log's a big one so it wants to stray out in front of me.

With these cues, the weight felt like air. I'm really antsy to give it another go already but I'm keeping disciplined for my arm.

Another crucial cue is to hump the weight up, don't just pull it with the arms. Pretending I have a belly helps. Had to get rid of my lever belt for doing this so I'm going to order a Cerberus back-support belt from Kalle's site for log pressing and stones.
