One person forms a single pivot point.
Two persons spaced a reasonable distance apart will damp rotation and hence torque.
Adding a third person would limit log oscillations even more.

Look for "Continuous Beam – Two Equal Spans – Uniformly Distributed Load" here: https://www.linsgroup.com/MECHANICAL_DESIGN/Beam/beam_formula.htm https://www.linsgroup.com/MECHANICAL_DESIGN/Beam/beam_formul... Hint: you'd better put the strongest guy in the middle.
