“Stones, Rocks & Boulders – Can You Lift Them?
The Ultimate Test of Strength”
Dear Fellow Strongman,
Training with rocks is a thousands of years old tradition that was lost for much of what we would call modern history. The funny thing is that training with them today is just as valuable as it was 2000 years ago. It’s just as productive, just as pure, just as rugged and just as impossible to cheat.
In fact lifting the old manhood stones still garners the greatest respect among the truly strong today, maybe even more than it did hundreds of years ago.
Louis Cyr got famous for lifting heavy stones. It’s something people still talk about as one of the top rungs of the lifting resume of Bill Kazmier. It was the initiation to manhood for men all across the world and the test for the worthiness of warriors and today’s great strongmen are still testing themselves the same way.
Lifting heavy stones is a basic test of manhood all across the world and they are truly man makers, because no matter what else you do, the stone doesn’t lie.
You either lift it or you don’t.
And almost nothing else will help you do it. Just you and the stone. Proving and building a better man. A stronger man. Because of the unyielding, unchanging, powerful quality of stones, they build the toughest men.
That’s why I lift them.
That’s why you should too.
I’ve done every kind of strength training you can do and stones are probably one of the most rewarding of everything I’ve ever done. I could already lift massive barbells when I started training with stones, but if I had it to do over again, I would have started training with stones right along side of those barbells in the beginning. Even though I had years of training experience, when I began to lift stones, I began to see weaknesses and as I kept lifting I began to see those weaknesses disappear.
My strength went to a whole new level. Not just in lifting the stones, but in applying the strength I had built in every day life and in lifting barbells.
The Greeks did it. So did the Russians. The Chinese, the Shaolin, the Japanese, the Mongolians, the Polynesians, the Romans, the Hindus, the Icelanders, Scandinavians, Native Americans, and the Scots. Everybody throughout the history of man has built and tested their men with lifting huge stones. Why aren’t you doing it?
We put exercises on this video specifically to show you everything you ever thought about doing with a stone (and a lot of things you probably haven’t).
We give you over 55 exercises in all on our stone lifting video. This is the most complete, and as far as we know, the only stone lifting course of its kind ever created. We’re not just going to show you how to lift Atlas type stones for strongman competition, although that IS on there.
We’re going to show you how to use every shape and size of stone commonly in practice.
- Small Stones
- Big Stones
- Cube Shaped
- Rectangular
- Round
- Triangular
- You name it…we got it on here.
We show you the real exercises and how to do them. And not just show them to you, we actually demonstrate them with real stones and heavy weight. Here are a few of the exercises:
- Pinch Grip
- One Hand Snatch
- Hand to hand Toss
- Braemar Throw
- Upright Row
|
- Twisting Throw
- Explosive Push Throw
- Standing Bench Press
- Two Hand Swing
|
And that’s all just with the light stones.
Then we get into the heavier stones and show you multiple styles of each of the different major exercises with different shaped stones.
- Loading a Round Stone to a Barrel
- Clean and Press
- The Bear Hug and Squat
- The Hindu Shoulder
- The Krumrie Load
|
- Shoulder and Squat
- Zercher Goodmorning
- Turkish Get Up
- The Grapplers Squat Twist and Turn
|
We tell you how to do all these exercises to make your stone lifting better.
- Where to get your stones without paying a dime
- How to construct your own Atlas Stones
- How to place your hands
- How to shoot your hips through
- How to use the stones for strength
- How to build up endurance
- How to use tacky
- What about gauntlets?
- How to set them up in loading drills
- Different types of lifting and loading drills
- How to work your legs
- How to work you shoulders
- How to work your arms
- How to work your back
- How to work you abs
- Martial art specific exercises
Then we actually get after it and start lifting some stones.
This video is like the rest of ours, it ain’t all talk, there’s some real work going on. See I figure you can’t learn about a manly sport like stone lifting unless you learn from somebody who is actually doing it. So a partner and me do some real lifting.
How about this, I clean and press a 250-pound rectangular stone and a 250 pound round stone.
I shoulder a 250-pound round stone Hindu Style 10 times.
Press a 210 stone for 10 reps.
As well as lifting a 320lb triangle, a 300+lb cube, etc.
My partner Mike, at 185lbs, and 18 years old, loads a 250lb round stone on a barrel for 4 reps. Takes a 320lb triangle for a walk and generally lifts just about all the other stones too.
We finish off with a little game of stone tag, lifting all of the stones in a variety of different ways just to finish the day.
Oh and I almost forgot, I lift and carry an over 500lb Husefelt-style (triangular), stone. Over FIVE HUNDRED POUNDS! (You’ll see when you see this video what we’re talking about. The thing is chest high on me standing up and wider than I am. It’s “friggin’ huge.” You’ll get that joke too.)
Nowhere else can you find a course that is this complete.
In fact I even say it on the video…
“If you train with nothing but stones, but pushed yourself to world-class in lifting them you’d be as strong as anyone on the planet.”
It’s simple enough and there’s enough beginner information that anybody could use this regardless of your strength level. It’s not about your physical ability. That’s what we’re trying to build, but many people just aren’t going to start lifting stones, because it’s tough. It makes YOU scary tough!
But that’s alright with me. The hard is what makes it great. And I like being in a fraternity with the strongest men who ever lived.
If you wanna get here too, I suggest you pick this DVD up now and start training.
God Bless,
Bud Jeffries
P.S. This is not some Hollywood production, just real hard lifting shown outdoors. In fact, this was shot back when we used VHS tapes. The quality of the video may not be the best, but I assure you that the information is. If you need a glitzy production then this DVD isn’t for you, and you should go back to the gym in your spandex and get on your hip adductor machine. But if you feel this is the right fit for you, go for it.
