Features and Benefits:

HEAVY DUTY CONSTRUCTION: Built from solid steel with a durable black powder-coated finish, this log bar is made to withstand intense log lifting workouts and the demands of Strongman competitions.
NEUTRAL GRIP FOR SHOULDER STRENGTH: Front-facing, neutral handles reduce stress on the shoulders and wrists, allowing you to press heavier with less strain. Ideal for safe and effective log press training.
ODD OBJECT LIFTING CHALLENGE: The oversized, unbalanced design forces full-body engagement during every rep, helping you build raw, functional strength through cleans, jerks, and the log lift.
REMOVABLE LOADABLE SLEEVES: Compatible with 2" Olympic plates, the sleeves can be removed to train technique or introduce beginners to the basics of log bar movements before adding load.
RUBBER-EDGED OPENING FOR WRIST PROTECTION: Smooth rubber edges around the hand opening help protect your wrists and forearms during every phase of the log press bar movement.
THREE SIZE OPTIONS: Choose from 8", 10", or 12" barrel diameters to match your skill level. Smaller logs are ideal for beginners and technique work, while larger sizes add grip and weight challenge for advanced log training and increased weight.
BUILT-IN WEIGHT OPTIONS: Each log bar has a different starting weight: 8" weighs 54 lb, 10" weighs 67 lb, and 12" weighs 90 lb. Scale your training intensity without adding plates right away.

Note: This log barbell is NOT meant to be dropped directly on the floor. Only drop if using crash mats, safety pads, tires, or a combination of the three.

FAQs

Common Questions About the Strongman Log Bar

How do I choose the right size log bar?

When selecting a log bar, consider your training experience, goals, and whether you plan to compete. Beginners or those working on technique often start with the 8" log (54 lb), while intermediate and advanced lifters may prefer the 10" (67 lb) or 12" (90 lb) for a more demanding log press. Competitive athletes should also factor in standard log sizes used in their Strongman events.

What exercises can I do with a log bar?

The log bar is perfect for compound lifts like the log clean and press, log jerks, and push presses. It’s also great for building shoulder and triceps strength while improving grip strength and coordination during log lifting movements.

What makes a log press bar different from a standard barbell?

A log press bar has a larger diameter and neutral grip handles, which reduce shoulder strain and make it harder to control. This mimics the awkwardness of lifting real-world objects and increases overall functional strength compared to a traditional barbell.

Can beginners use a log bar for training?

Yes! Our 8" log bar is great for beginners or those working on log press technique. The removable sleeves allow for lighter, skill-based log training before progressing to heavier lifts.

Great product, great customer support

If it were just the log I received I would probably have rated it at a 4, because there were some minor issues. That being said, the overall construction and design of the log is great. Feels super solid and well made. Only issue was a slight alignment issue of the hole the bolt goes into to hold the sleeve in place. But Valor’s customer service team worked with me super quickly to get the issue resolved. And not only did they seem to want to make sure it was fully taken care of for me, but they also seemed to legitimately want to make sure to have a thorough understanding of the issue to make sure it doesn’t happen on other logs (as they said they haven’t had this issue before). That in and of itself shows how committed they are to the quality of their products. Definitely will be buying from them again in the future!

Heavy competitor in strongman and this log is exactly what the wife needed 10” log that can withstand and beating and that’s very well constructed. I give this 10” log a 5 star because I’ve bought many logs and this one for the price is absolutely the best option if your a female and plan to compete in the strongman community. One thing valor needs to do next is 12” competition strongman logs and you best believe I will be in line to pick one up.

I love this thing! Log OHP is way better than barbell OHP.
Many logs have an other-than-nominal (not a true olympic) sleeve diameter, which means the weights slop around.
This has true size sleeves.
Also, other logs have a powder coat paint job on the sleeves, which will only wear or chip away over time. This guy has a "stainless steel like" finish (I cannot confirm the material).

The only complaint I have is that on their website and on Amazon, they say the 10" log is 67 pounds.
I weighed the log and it is 58 pounds, so nine pounds off.

This came in quick and was easy to put together. It has got a lot of use at my home strongman gym. There are about 7 people that regularly work out at my house and use this. Everyone likes it. The width and diameter of the handles works very well for everyone. We use car tires to drop it on and have loaded it with up to 200lbs. My home gym is under a carport so everything gets exposed to a lot of humidity and this is still holding up very well. Actually all my valor fitness stuff is.

This log works prefect for my little garage gym and would recommend. My only complaint is that I doesn’t fit my power rack.

The log is well made and very functional. I love using it!!!!!

Should’ve been made 2” long to fit on the spotter bars. Currently, it’s too short to rest on the weight sleeves and too long to rest on the actual log. Crazy really

Awesome product for compound lifts

This thing is great! I recommend crash pads because it’s a piece together, not 100% welded. I have already used over 200lbs with it, and it seems to be holding up without any sign of crying. Lol.

Very happy with this product. Customer service was awesome, very good price to include the shipping all the way to Alaska, couldnt be happier and will definitely be shopping here again. Thanks guys !
