Chat with Martin Hansen
Strongman and Log Press Specialist
About Martin Hansen
In the rain-slicked arena of the 2019 SCL Norway, Martin Hansen pressed 212.5 kg with a log that hadn’t been touched by any other competitor, its knurling worn smooth only by his own hands over six months of obsessive refinement. That lift wasn’t just a record; it redefined what biomechanical efficiency looks like in log pressing: narrower grip, delayed lockout timing, and a thoracic brace derived from Danish weightlifting tradition rather than American strongman orthodoxy. Unlike peers who chase maximal deadlifts or atlas stones, Hansen treats the log press as a diagnostic tool, a way to expose imbalances in scapular control, rotator cuff endurance, and breath-hold sequencing under eccentric load. His training logs, published quarterly in 'Styrke & Form', include torque-angle graphs for each rep and notes on bar path deviation measured via smartphone-mounted laser trackers. He’s never won World’s Strongest Man, but every elite log press specialist since 2020 trains with his ‘Hansen 3-Phase Breathing Protocol’ embedded in their warm-up.
