If the keg cannot be pressed, at 30s the athlete may move on to the log. The athlete will start behind the line and will approach the keg on the start command. The implement must be pressed until given a down command before moving on to the next implement. All kegs will be standard ½ barrel. Women and Novice men will use a 10” log while all other men’s classes will use a 12” log. All axles are 2” Titan Fitness Axle bars.
