<li class="step-concentric"><strong>2. Execution:</strong> Raise the axe overhead and slightly back while rotating the torso. Drive the axe downward in a powerful, explosive motion engaging the hips, core, and arms to strike the log squarely.</li>
<li class="step-safety"><strong>3. Breathing and safety:</strong> Inhale as you lift the axe and exhale forcefully with core engagement upon impact. Ensure a stable stance, clear surrounding area, and complete control over the tool to prevent slips.</li>
