How to construct a Lumber-LOg.
If you’re a bit handy, then it’s
easy to make this Lumber-log.
You don’t need much to make
one, with a solid trunk and
some rope you can get a real
handy piece of Unconventional
Training kit!! Free!!
(this Lumber-log weighs about
20kg)
What materials do YOU need TO make a Lumber-log;
- a handsaw or chainsaw
- a long sturdy rope
- and a thick tree trunk
1. Use the Handsaw to saw
the log into the right size
which is to your preference
this is dependant on the
circumference of the trunk
and the weight you want
to lift.The handsaw is used
to provide another heavy
exercise.
2. Saw with each arm this is
to ensure you get a good
workout the Unconventional
way! When the log is cut the right size for your needs tie the rope around the
log (see image).
3. The rope is divided into three long pieces at least 3meters per piece, one rope
for around the log and the other rope to tie in the longitudinal of the log and
another to go underneath along the length and over the top of the log this will
eventually act as handles.
4. With each rope connecting make a tight knot, space these equally. Follow the
you tube link for the diamond Knot ittakes alittle pratice but is a great load

5. Leave a little slack for the last Knot this should be located top of the log in the
middle, this is so you can fit your hands under and use as handles (see image).
6. The “Lumber-log” is ready for action!
