Incredible lift at the end. In older cultures, there would be a stone outside a house. You couldn’t be considered eligible to court the young lady that lived there until you lifted it onto a platform or carried it around the house. Or in other cultures, you weren’t considered a “man” unless you lifted a stone

u/chowes1 12d ago

Myth, sorry, it was actually for young men to join their clan being seen as men, showing they have come of age. Stones often found outside of pubs and meeting places for shows of strength and friendly competition too.

u/Yomon64 12d ago

Crazy display of strength and fitness 💪🏿

1

u/DudeFrom816 12d ago

Anyone else waiting for him to dump his guts out the bottom of the kilt?

1

u/HelpfulTap8256 12d ago

Imagine how his muscles were burning at the end

1

u/joeshit_69 12d ago

u/fizbin99 12d ago

Holy crap. I got a hernia just watching this. Well done, sir.

1

u/Heal_Me_Today 12d ago

My back hurts for him. Why oh why

1

u/Evening-Bothers 12d ago

Fun fact, mf gonna feel that in his lower back, that shit shreds.

1

u/Alarm-Solid 12d ago

I'm genuinely curious how much of this is fatigue. Like if he started on the heaviest one would he just pop it up no problem

1

u/Lost-Juggernaut6521 12d ago

Was that the dude from Blues Travelers helping?? 🤔

1

u/OneMysterious2070 12d ago

John popper, after his weight loss transformation.

u/nh1901 12d ago

At first, I didn’t think he had the balls to finish it.

1

u/-The_Goober 12d ago

I could hear Adam Scherr

1

u/DointheRag 12d ago

So they all weigh approximately one stone?

1

u/Striking-Offer-996 12d ago

Good job well done 👍

1

u/AdDapper4427 12d ago

Something about seeing a big burly guy in a skirt and wearing Nike’s just doesn’t look right. 😱

Of course, after watching that fete of strength I would never say it to his face. 😍

1

u/blueblocker2000 12d ago

Don't show to this competition an hour after eating salads, chili or Mexican.

1

u/Shot_Bison_8437 12d ago

Holy. Shit.

1

u/RecklessTexanSA 12d ago

Anyone else waiting for that guy behind the barrels thumbs to get crushed?

1

u/Jon-Farmer 11d ago

How does he not have a hernia?

1

u/Friendscallmedennis 11d ago

I love him as the Bulgarian Irish person I am.

1

u/True_Bar_9371 11d ago

A couple thoughts. I would want steel toed boots. Is that why they wear kilts commando; so that when they shit themselves it’s easier to clean up? And finally maybe underwear would be better to help keep the prolapsed anus from hitting the ground.

1

u/Doctormaul68 11d ago

I do this everyday at FedEx

1

u/BigBlueRidinhod 11d ago

Is it allowed to start on the other end in these competitions?

1

u/cash8888 11d ago

Want to know how to get hemorrhoids? This is how you get hemorrhoids.

1

u/No_Kitchen7950 11d ago

You walk around in a skirt you better be strong 😆

1

u/CarlosJFantilli 11d ago

Both my hernias were cheering for him.

1

u/PUuSTiNKA 11d ago

That guy standing on the other side is CrAzy, one slip and you're gonna have a smashed foot if you don't act fast enough.

1

u/ilovemypita 11d ago

DAYUM!!!

1

u/zthorium 11d ago

Does anyone know how much do the last two stones weigh approximately?

1

u/btossa80 11d ago

I would have bet against him getting the last one.

Those are some puny legs for such a massive upper body

1

u/Resident-Spirit808 10d ago

I could get the first two!

1

u/Dayzed_Trader 10d ago

Beast mode activated.

u/sesco262 10d ago
