How to perform it

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 01Tip the keg toward you, secure both hands underneath or around its body, and brace before lifting.
  2. 02Pull the keg into the lap from a squat or staggered stance, then re-grip it high against the chest.
  3. 03Stand by extending the hips and knees while hugging the keg tightly and keeping it close to your center of mass.
  4. 04Approach the platform and use a final hip drive to roll or place the keg over the edge without striking the platform.
  5. 05Confirm that the keg is stable before releasing it, then step back safely and reset for the next load.
