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...

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...

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