Amazing Feats of Strength!

Basque Cylinder Lift

Stone lifting is an ancient sport. It has existed for hundreds, of years dating back before the first Olympics.

In this time period, manufactured weights as we know them today, did not exist. Therefore strength athletes would put to use various size stones as training implements.

Competitions also took place amongst the athletes with regard to the heaviest stone being lifted or thrown for distance. In Celtic history the competition would determine one’s manhood, or win a free stay for the night, including dinner, at a Manor or Estate for travelers.

In modern time's stone lifting or using other heavy implements to lift, or pull has advantages that include; breaking the boredom of conventional fitness clubs, as well as random spontaneous training in natural surroundings. Cynthia Morrison
