    Wes Clayborn also hit 256 on the same day Tom hit 256 and 273, less of a significant lift in itself, but for a guy who is not well known and is also significantly shorter than guys like Brian, Tom and Thor, I thought it was an incredible lift. He is still officially the second strongest stone lifter ever, and Tom's 286 putting him 11.7% further ahead than Wes just goes to show how ridiculous Tom's stone ability is. For context, the jump from 465 to 500 in the deadlift was 'only' 7.5%
    I think it'll be a long time before anyone really challenges Tom, I honestly think once he hits the 304, he should push for a 700lb (317.5kg) stone, which would make him the first to hit 3 different immense milestones in stone lifting (600lb, 300kg and 700lb). I think it would be decades before anyone else hits another huge milestone, and Tom's legacy would likely live on for as long as stone lifting is a thing

    For me is got to be Jon Pall Sigmarsson, I saw him at the Callander highland games in 1988 or 89 without being disrespectful he was a prime athlete where as his competitors were although awesome had giant farmer type physiques, he also took time out for fans and seemed just a nice guy, obviously I have biases I was only 17 then and was awestruck, still am when looking back💪👊🙌🙌

  • @hector-lu7cc
    @hector-lu7cc 4 года назад +19

    Hey Loz, the reason why in 1989 the stones were lifted in a different way (above the shoulder) is because the WSM was held in San Sebastián, so they adapted the event to match the traditional "basque stone lifting". The record was set at 329kg by Mieltxo Saralegi in 2003. There have been another 4 men to lift over 300kg, the most famous one being Iñaki Perurena with 320kg, back in the 90's

    If back when Brian Shaw was taking the stones to crazy weights, if he would have had the competition from Tom it is hard to say where they would have taken it. I would love to see them both concentrate on stones so we could see it.

    I think Brian Shaw is my favorite stone lifter. He's just good at everything and he was the first strongman I saw do the stones. He just seemed so methodical. Stoltman is the king right now, but I think for me Brian will be to the stones what Eddie is to the deadlift. They aren't the record holders anymore, but the lifts were so incredible you can't not remember them.
    Love your videos, dude. Have a good one.

    Great video! I'm really excited that you included my family manhood stone in your list of notable Scottish stones - the Menzies stone. I'm training to lift the stone later this year. The Clan Menzies tradition was that a male must lift the stone to achieve manhood and to be able to get married - although my girlfriend somehow doesn't seem to agree this is a valid reason to wait! Watch out, Menzies is pronounced "Mingis". Great content, looking forward to more of this series :)

    Nummisto is my favorite stone lifter. In WSM 1986 he was the first man to lift the 140kg stone in competition. He was the oldest man in the tournament, 5 years older than Capes, a decade older than Jon Pall, I seriously doubted he could do it, but he handled the 5th stone like a pro and it was absolutely amazing. One of my favorite WSM moments ever.

Not the first King of the Stones, but definitely the first to have such a strong hold on it! 💪
