In ascending weight order, athlete must clean and press the axle bar once, then the log once, then an axle bench press with chains for reps.  Athlete will lay on bench, pick axle bar from standards and perform a max rep bench press. Axle must touch chest and fully lock out arms for rep to count. Back and feet must remain in contact with bench while bar is in hand and athlete must wait for the verbal down command before attempting the next rep. Axle can be re-racked and un-racked while time is still available. If a weight is dropped, you may attempt to re-clean and/or press again for as long as time allows.  Each lift must be completed before moving to the next lift.  YOU MUST WAIT FOR DOWN CALL FOR THE REP TO COUNT AND ALL IMPLEMENTS MUST BE LOWERED UNDER CONTROL.
