I have 4 mores stones almost out of the woods. The biggest one no one on earth could lift. I want to use that one as a lawn ornament. The other three I think I will be able to train with.

It took some effort but I pulled these stones out of the bushes. The forth stone is 3/4 of the way out of the woods.

The lawn ornament stone? Can’t wait to see that one lol.
Any stones shaped like the Granite state?
I figure conservatively this stone weighs 524 lbs. So when I said no one on earth would be able to lift this I may have been wrong. Brian Shaw or Thor may be able to.

I had to look that one up Tony. Didn’t know he was the one to fight the Minotaur.
Paul, not sure why but I do enjoy dragging these stones out of the woods. Kids and wife are good.

The axle cleans are getting better. I used a squat bar for rows because it’s a little fatter than a regular bar for grip.

Happy Birthday!!!
Age is but a number. In your case, it’s a big one, but still a number nonetheless. 
For real though, good lifting and have a happy birthday.
Tears of joy I hope, just remember age is like
