Where did the
World’s Strongest
Man Contest get the
idea for stone lifting? It was from the Basque stone lifters of Spain who have been lifting stones for thousands of years. Stone lifting is the Basque ethnic sport.
For those of you who are truly hard core stone lifters, the 220 lb. stone is the granite sphere size that the Basque stonelifters compete with at rolling around their heads. This is known as a Basque neck tie. The world record is thirty six and a half 360 degree revolutions.
The Basque lifters favor the smooth honed stones and lift fast and explosively like Olympic Lifters. This would explain their amazing back development. Stone lifting is great for Powerlifters and Olympic lifters who want to supercharge their low back strength and add pounds to their totals.
These stones are available in smooth honed or rough style and will not break like concrete stone balls.
Get your honed 220 lb. stone ball and train like a Basque lifter!
