Stone-Over-Bar

1 - Set up a horizontal bar or obstacle at a specified height. The height can vary depending on the competition or training goals.
2 - Choose a spherical stone, often called an “Atlas Stone,” with a weight appropriate for your strength level and the event’s requirements.
3 - Stand in front of the stone with your feet shoulder-width apart and your toes pointing slightly outward.
4 - Bend at your hips and knees to get a secure grip on the stone. The stone should be positioned between your legs.
5 - Lift the stone off the ground using proper lifting technique, such as using your legs and maintaining a straight back.
6 - Explosively lift the stone upward and forward, extending your hips, knees, and ankles to generate power.
7 - Aim to lift the stone over the horizontal bar or obstacle, letting it clear the bar entirely.
8 - After the stone has cleared the bar, release it and allow it to fall safely on the other side.
