Weight over bar (or Highland games one arm weight over bar) is a traditional strength sport derived from ancient Scottish Highland games that involves the heaving of a 25.5 kg (56 lb) weight, over a bar using one hand.[1] Unlike its other counterpart, the Weight throw which involves a full body rotating spinning technique,[2] the Weight over bar requires the weight to be kept between the legs before swinging it up in a pendulum like manner, and releasing when it is at its apex, directly overhead.
