A typical Highland Games includes a Weight toss using a weight as heavy as 56 pounds (4 stones). Heavy enough much less to throw it. (5 years and 3080 days ago)

Struggle - Photography Contest [31 entries]
Contest goal:
Your goal in this contest is to show a person physically struggling with something (unscrewing a tight jar, climbing a rope, etc.). You may show animals and other objects in your photograph but it must be a HUMAN who is struggling (and therefore, the focus of the shot).
In order to improve your chances, make sure it is apparent that your subject is having a hard time with their task (tense neck muscles, squinched face, etc.).

Great shot, really catches the action, Wonderful focus on the guy, with the background all soft.
friiski said it all! Best pict. yet.
Ditto above
Especially hard while trying to hold your kilt down 
I thought he was just grabbing himself

Because he was holding down his kilt, I guess that answers the old question. Thanks for your comments.
