Strong as ever…
You’re the one with a hill out back, right? Build an in-law wing for your house at some point…

Impressive memory. Hill, in-laws all that stuff. I’m that guy. Just a bit older.

I want to start some stone lifting when I move to Portugal. My new place is literally littered with granite boulders from the size of a basketball up to a small car. I’d be daft not to.
It might sound funny, but how do you lift your stones? what constitutes a lift?
to the shoulder and then put them down? or to full stretch overhead?
do you swap shoulders? do you drop them or lower them down?

Be carefull stonelifting is addictive. I would do it more but my back has been bothering me and its easy to over train. There are several lifts: chest height, shoulder and over head. You can also do zercher squats or zercher GMs. Really any lift.
The way I lift a stone to chest height is as follows:
- get in sumo deadlift position directly over the stone
- get hands under stone as much as you can
- with semi-rounded to fully rounded back deadlift/row stone into your lap
- balance stone in lap while you get a good grip on the stone
- bear hug stone and stand up
- I lift in my yard so I just drop the stone

Good work in here Steve!
Hows your family doing?
Strong 15 is a solid program.
Imo the LRB 365 is a very good thought out plan ( his newest program)
Rick
Good work. I’m guess the strong 15 is the reason for the 15+ reps on your last sets?
Rick, great to see you. All is good. Kids are getting big. I bet the same is happening in your house as well. I hope yours are happy and healthy.
Sen Say, I semi follow strong 15 and sometimes 5/3/1. I’ve stolen ideas I like from both.

I was really happy with these stone carries. The distance I covered in 5 stone carries two days ago only took 2 carries last night.
Good work on the stone carries and everything else. Your training looks solid.
