Doktor Bollix: I have been lifting for nearly 9 years now. Pressing overhead requires a lot of total body power, speed, and technique. Doing a log press is a lot different than with a bar...much harder I feel. I also feel that it is safer on your shoulders, elbows, and wrists. I like it for delt development too...
Time, practice, rest, and hitting my upper back and triceps really hard.
