Wow 330 pounds that's just insane man,I think I'd have alot of trouble getting 200 off the ground and I have at least 9.5 years of weightlifting experience.
Great content and thank you for the inspiration! I have 2 stones in my garden and im going to follow your example and start lifting them regularly alongside pull ups and dips! Continue to set an example for my son! Thanks for the inspiration
Those are massive tests of strength,cause of the awkwardness of the weight being moved,most people would give up before getting it off the ground,if they could even get it off the ground.
No mate not at all. When you sprint you put more force through the feet and knees. Running on concrete / road is more damaging. You also need to remember that this is 2 x week and for a few sets. Most people who run run each each day and for a decent distance.
Stone lifting is great, really engaging! (specially if you have as much strenght as you do, which allows you to pretty much lift any stone 🤯) Quick question: Do you get bruises or cuts everytime you lift natural stones or only sometimes?
I'm pretty out of shape right now, I'm just getting back into training after about a 6-year hiatus, and have decided to focus primarily on lifting odd objects and doing calisthenics. So far all I have is a set of gymnastics rings and a sandbag. I am looking to get a natural stone soon, but also considering maybe just getting a heavier sandbag. What would you say are the benefits and drawbacks of stones versus sandbags. Especially for someone who is still not very strong and very new to this.
@@LairdRoss All right, I have a friend with the landscaping company so I'm going to give him a call and see what he can do for me for some stones. I'm excited to see what the difference between them and sandbags is. I'm sure it's one of those things that's hard to describe, but you can just feel it when you actually do it.
how would you get into lifting stones if you live in a city/apartment complex? Also how much weightlifting experience would you recommend before tryna start w stones?
Nice video! How do you compare lifting natural stones to atlas stones, in terms of stone weight? I assume holding a natural odd shaped natural stone is "easier" than a spherical atlas stone, but also the uneveness of the natural stone complicates balance. Tks!
What weight would you recommend for a beginner to start with? I’m thinking of trying to make my own atlas stones out of concrete or the rectangle ones like you have. I’m about 185lbs, 6 feet tall. And have been lifting for about ten years. I don’t usually lift super heavy though. I usually keep my lifts in the 10 rep range.
. I’ve been doing uphill Carrie’s with stones I find at the park. They’re about 30 lbs. Should I keep my breathing the same as I would if I were to do a clean&jerk? To protect my spine?
Old time strongmen would do this and call it the "anyhow lift" picking up large awkwardly shaped objects. Do you wear steel toecaps with these workouts?
@@LairdRoss yeah, I do a bit of rock lifting at the beach but only ever have my barefoot shoes which feels really sketchy. I'll start chucking my work boots in the car when I go out. xD
I have some big ass rocks in my backyard. Ive had some problems with working them into my workout... no that's the excuse. Im just a bitch and they are heavy ;(
What a formidable bloke. Diabolical physique

Thanks mate. I will have to find some heavier ones in the near future
I have some experience with sandbags, which I like a lot. Still need to try some stones. You have some 'real' strength no doubt.
Thanks mate. Yeah sand bags are another good option
Very inspirational 👏 well done really impressive lifting mate
Thank you mate appreciated
Very inspiring, thank you. Will start my own stone carry journey soon 😊

Mate your onto a good thing then mate

Yeah a lot of people struggle to break the ground with them
this is truly inspirational stuff. Thank you for sharing!
Welcome mate
This gives me some more drive to keep lifting! I started with a 50 pound rock and now a 70 pound one! Hope to get jacked like you!
Mate that is good, yeah keep chasing and you will be in the triple digits in no time
@@LairdRoss appreciate the encouragement, thanks, man
Love this. Is there any concern of your knees seeing damage due to the heavy weight being sat on your lap so often?
No mate not at all. When you sprint you put more force through the feet and knees. Running on concrete / road is more damaging. You also need to remember that this is 2 x week and for a few sets. Most people who run run each each day and for a decent distance.
Lol at 6:35 that’s a good idea, today I found a stone on the side of my road and proceeded to pick it up. She scratched me up real good she did. 😂
If the biceps are getting sore you're missing an element to the lift. Scapular retraction is key. it will remove that tension.
Natural stone lifting is ultimate in functional training
Yes I would have to agree with that
Stone lifting is great, really engaging! (specially if you have as much strenght as you do, which allows you to pretty much lift any stone 🤯)
Quick question: Do you get bruises or cuts everytime you lift natural stones or only sometimes?
Most the time I get a few small ones. The skin gets use to it and you end up with far less compared to when you first start.
Strengthen the posterior chain from different positions and articulations like squatting with different foot spacing.
That is what I do with stones

I would get both mate. Go to a landscaping place and you will get heaps for a very minimal cost

Brother your physique is glorious! How long have you been training?
Thank you mate. 17 years in total
I want to have shoulders like that! Badass
They do that traditionally in Navarre
how would you get into lifting stones if you live in a city/apartment complex? Also how much weightlifting experience would you recommend before tryna start w stones?
You will have to find a place where you can go and lift mate.

If I was to use tacky then lifting Atlas stones is far far easier
The gigachad.
I know this is a dumb question but where did you get the stones?

Just start with something light and work your way up

Just see how it feels mate
you have my dream physiyue
Thank you mate
your welcome mate@@LairdRoss
What shoes are these?
Steel capped boots
@@LairdRoss This I know :) I was curious about the brand/model. Mine are from Haix and don't look so stylish!
Old time strongmen would do this and call it the "anyhow lift" picking up large awkwardly shaped objects.
Do you wear steel toecaps with these workouts?
Yeah mate I sure do. It hasn't landed on my toes yet but it's still not a chance I like to take
Yes mate I definitely wear still cut boots as I don't want to take the risk of crunching my toes
@@LairdRoss yeah, I do a bit of rock lifting at the beach but only ever have my barefoot shoes which feels really sketchy. I'll start chucking my work boots in the car when I go out. xD
I have some big ass rocks in my backyard. Ive had some problems with working them into my workout... no that's the excuse. Im just a bitch and they are heavy ;(
Haha that is very honest. Do what you can mate. Does take some practice
you sir have no problems lifting a washing machine or a bigass fridge by yourself
Certainly not mate. Moved house, this style of training made it so much easier
The most ive got is 280 and thats allmost getting sent too the shadow reals 330 is un human😂
Thanks mate. I will eventually find a bigger stone
weak
Like a Kieliszkowski Mateusz ;) very nice.
Thanks mate
