Training like our ancestors and bringing back the old ways that were gone but not forgotten


Is there a test of strength more pure than putting the wind beneath a natural stone?

(Barney Rubble)

I have always been interested in playing sports and have tried them all, GAA. Feild hockey, American football, rock climbing and many more. I finally settled on function fitness (Crossfit) and competed in novice compations all over the UK and Europe, I came across a strongman competition by accident and one of the events was natural stone lifting and from that I am hooked, I fell in with a group of same minded people with the knowledge and experience to help me, I am still young in my stone lifting journey but looking forward to what the future brings.
