It was a stone lifting comp, a cast back from the original Highland Games etc...

That's a 140kg block I'm lifting in readiness to press, which I did but it nearly killed me!

We still hold the same comp each year but I'm not doing it this time around as I've a torn right shoulder unfortunately but will be back at it next year!

We also compete in drug free/tested associations for powerlifting and strongman...

Anyone can do it, just because you don't have the build now doesn't mean you can't develop it ;)

Thats nae geid fir yea Dan!

Very true. In my early twenties I was a (qualified) mason pavior and my job was laying concrete and stone, kerbs, blocks and slabs. Granite kerb weighs over 50 kilos per foot length and I used to lift, cart and lay metre lengths every day, amongst other hefty items. You get stronger and more used to it by the day and I was only 5'6" eleven stone. I got even stronger and broader as I got older too (that's what weight training and ten hours of judo a week does to you) :).

Sounds interesting... If I was nearer I'd come along and maybe have a go. Being a fairly big chap myself, I'm not averse to lifting weights ;)

My doctor told me not to lift anything heavy... :flasher:

Hehehehe... It's far enough away for just doing a 'jolly jape'. Different if I was involved in a competition :)

Is that 22 stone of muscle then, not including the big bit between your ears? Haha... :eyebrows: ;)

I'm just a mere 'tot', in comparison, at 6ft 2ins and 15 stone!

Marco.

Ok ok if you guys are that strong then I take it back your NOT the dingles lol 😁
