Aye, that throw weighed a little more than 56 pounds. It's five ten pound plates on a fat chain with a huge iron ring. It's toss me around like a rag doll if I fucked up the form even a little bit. I went ass over teakettle in the Games on Grandfather Mountain once.

It's not part of my heritage, but we had Highland Games at my university in California. And they let anyone try. With much lighter weights. Mad respect to you. That is a warrior skill.

Fifty six pound weight for distance was my Achilles heel. If I fucked up the form just a little bit, I'd get tossed around like a rag doll. My firt highland games, I went ass over teakettle across the trig and that throw was voided.😜I got better!
