Resolute 12" Log

First off, I'm a gym owner who has done business with Strong Arm Sport previously. We had bought plates and a combo rack, with both experiences being great. Tremendous customer service and delivery (I actually recommended Mike heavily to some friends who are both gym owners and they now both have combo racks from Strong Arm in their gyms). Fast forward to this log - if I could give less than a star, I would. We had a strongman competition slated for April so I began preparations in January. January 15th we ordered our 12" Resolute Log from Strongarm Sport. February 6th I shot an E-Mail to Mike, and this was the response - "Logs are in town, being delivered to me over the weekend, so your's will ship on Tuesday next week, our next shipping day. Appreciate your patience Adam." No big, still excited, plenty of time. April 5th, I call and ask for an update and the response was that the logs were not in North America (Our competition was the next weekend). Mike asked that I give him the weekend to sort it out and I said I would. Called April 9th after I didn't get a response on the 8th, and was told "others are missing their logs too, there isn't anything I can do about it" to which I asked for a refund. Refund was placed April 14th. I ended up having to drive two hours (one way) to borrow a log from a friends gym a few days before our event to fill the void. This review isn't aimed to slam the business, it is to express my extreme displeasure for the way in which it was handled. I know you can't summon steel and magically make a log, but some form of compensation should have been offered or contact sooner that wasn't contradictory so I could have ordered from another company. Ultimately, this was just a largely unfortunate instance and not what I would expect of a company that we highly recommended prior. If you're in the market for logs, I would look else where.

Firstly I want to speak on StrongArmSport, I’ve purchased a few items from StrongArm Sport in the past and I’ve always had amazing service. This latest order was no exception. The products are on par if not better than the more expensive brands on the market. I own logs and bars from various companies and I can say that the small details on the Resolute log are better. The inner spacing around the handles is coated in a rubber finish that protects the wrist. Anyone that has missed the clean portion on a log press understands the fun to the wrist when this occurs. The loading pin also has a rubber stopper to protect the bar. The finish is also excellent, I particularly like the Canadian flag design that was cut into the end pieces. I could go on about these details (there are many more) but the point is that these small intelligent design additions make the log excellent for a great price. The only comment (not even a negative one, just informative) is that the log was listed at 95lbs when it is actually 107lbs after we weighed it. This is not a problem, just want to inform people so they can make their weight jumps accordingly.
I highly recommend and will be buying and supporting both Resolute and StrongArm Sports in the future.

Very Happy with the Resolute 12” Log. High quality fun to use. Cheaper and better than the rogue 12” log.

very nicely put together, looks great and feels good
at 95 lbs weight I like it better than some of the heavier logs I've use as I can warmup with it, and it will be better for new lifters. I had no trouble ordering the circus dumbbell right away from Resolute.

Looks great and feels solid.

it’s exactly what’s advertised, a 12” big, long and strong, solidly built log. need a log? buy this one.
