I think you can for sure log cutting trees as strength training.
I'm divided, should I count all of my manly duties as training? Where do I draw the line?
But yeah, sweet saw man, kinda scary with that 30 inch bar, kick back would be a bitch.
We had two Stihl saws on our farm. The first one was super heavy and pretty much designed to throw out your lower back, but mega powerful. My dad then got a smaller one which was super easy to use, great for cutting up the tree once it's down.
My primary job growing up was picking up logs and loading the wagon.
Manly duties is an excellent term.
