Stone lifting goes back throughout history, especially in northern europe, as a proof of manhood. There are some exceptional legends, with stones weighing up to a ton. Keep in mind, stones are much harder to lift than their equivalent weight on a barbell. It takes incredibly core & grip strength, and you must have tree trunks for legs. Stones are not meant to be lifted, they have been planted in the ground by nature and it is up to the mover to determine if they shall remain there forever, or until a stronger fellow comes about.
