I dragged a stone home from a creek bed years ago when gyms were ordered to be closed. Clean and press from the ground was a great workout. I love how indisputable natural strength standards are. You can't say the rules are unfair or that the referee's are bad. You can either do the thing with the rock or you can't.
I peeled a 200+ lb stone out of a walkway I was building. It’s shape and heft lent me to thinking I should pick it up. Something about it was calling me to give a shot. In the end I couldn’t… but there’s something that wanted me to. What is that?? There’s something alluring about it, something primal.
What a great documentary! Stone lifting is one of the most fun strength challenges I have done. Getting to make my first trip to Scotland in August and then it looks like I need to head west.
Thank you Ryan! I shouldered the Moab stone and got the Little Cottonwood to my chest while on vacation in Utah all the way from Ohio in 2022. I hope to tackle more stones someday
Awesome documentary, I started lifting stones just a couple of months ago and I like it a lot! The "you are going to break your feet / back" does happen way too often though 🤣
I watched this video and literally it lit my heart on fire ❤️🔥 I have always loved sandbags but after watching these passionate men and women lift with so much love, I need to get started. I can’t go to my grave without doing this! I don’t know anything about it, except what I’ve heard and seen here, but I sure will get knowledge ! Thank you for doing this. Wow!
Such a beautiful documentary. I have recently got serious about stone lifting. Lifted the dinnie stones, inver stone and some more stones in Scotland. Now this is has also been added to my bucket list. Definitely going to come to Utah and lift all the stones there.
There is pleasure in the pathless woods, there is rapture on the lonely shore, there is society where none intrudes, by the deep sea with music in its roar, i love man not less, but nature more - Lord Byron
Great Documentary! But it's disappointing how nearly every lift shown resulted in dropping the stone from height. We in Scotland have a very strict rule of no dropping historic stones to prevent them from breaking. We lost the Wallace Putting Stone in 2018 after it was dropped from height by a visiting American. Would hate that to happen to other stones.
Yeah I think Ryans approach is that these are not historical stones, more sport stones. They are probably subject to a few hazards outside of being dropped even, and they are more or less replaceable. I know Ryan goes out of his way when lifting actual historic stones in EU to not drop them from height.
Great film, I've always been curious about stone lifting as a climber. Seems like a lot of opportunity for stone lifting at bouldering crags. Maybe I'll keep my eyes open for some big rocks next time I'm out at the boulders here on the east coast.
Those rock climber dudes are awesome they're like sticks everywhere except their backs! Motivates me to lift heavy stones to get a badass posterior chain
This was awesome. As a Stone lifter, I want the world to lift Stones. That alone says a lot. Great work here!
thank you!

Same can be said about Gripsport
Thats was awesome. Does Martins know about this?
Amazing doc guys.
Great documentary. Thank you.
I just want to thank the filmmaker. As someone who recently fell in love with stonelifting, this is truly fantastic content. It's so inspiring too.

Loving this video. Beautiful little blossoming community.

@@bearcammedia That's awesome man!
Another fine film Bearcam!
Thank you

Makes for a cool warmup too ;)
Heck yeah let us know how it goes!
How was that guy ok when the stone fell on him. If anyone has any insight on that much appreciated. That’s what I would fear most.
Surprinsingly inspirational doc about humans picking up big rocks. Thanks!
My pleasure
Anyone know anything about any historical Canadian stones of strength?
Yes
my dream vacation is to go to scotland and do a stone tour
Same
Those rock climber dudes are awesome they're like sticks everywhere except their backs!

Bulk Brogan!
BROFORCE !!!

Front squats and rock lifting. All you need to get jacked and freaky strong
Love it. Big thanks to youtube.com/@CameronMaier for this! Something I can always look back on with great memories!
Yeah man! So happy we got to do this
i am also doing a 60 days stonelifting challenge
Right, fuck That I'm comin over. Looks awesome 💚💚💚
I lifted stones from the sea today to make the bottom safer. That's why I searched for this.
excellent
always blows my mind how strong these tiny-ass rock climbers are
Tiny ass being anyone under 250lbs ???
FUCK YEAH
Honestly might wanna get your body weight up before playing with weight like that
You go carry the stone before playing with comments like that
