Breaking the Dinnie Stones WORLD RECORD

[@Marc_Bedard]

The record for carrying the stones in a "farmers walk" style was held by Brian Shaw of the US, a four-time World's Strongest Man, who carried the stones 11 ft 6+1⁄2 in (3.52 m).[11] This was achieved on the 18 April 2019 and featured in the History Channel show The Strongest Man in History.[12][9] The current world record is held by Laurence Shahlaei who on Saturday 7th August 2021 carried the stones 14 ft 10 in (4.52 m). The record attempt was officiated and judged by Brett Nicol, Stevie Shanks and Jan Todd.

[@steveunderwood8145]

I hope that everyone watching can understand how special this is. Loz turns up hoping to lift the Dinnies and maybe take ‘a few steps’, but is egged on by the FIRST man to lift them after they were found by David Webster. All the officials and record holders are there (minus Brian Shaw), the gravel surface is unfavourable, Loz is in a kilt, his children are watching on, and he smashes the record! It’s almost too perfect! Huge congratulations Loz. This is truly inspiring.

After watching oberst, hall, shaw, and best try this a couple times on their show, this is insanely impressive! Eddie tore his hand off and Brian struggled hard. Way to go loz ! Super cool record out of retirement

[@heatherreadsreddit8579]

I was wondering if they filed the handles, so that they wouldn’t make everyone bleed this time. It was ridiculous that when Brian broke the record, the handles had sharp spurs on them. For Loz’s record, it seems unsafe that the walkway is stone or gravel.

[@kriegguardsman9117]

I wonder how the hands sizes compare

[@soulessshadow5356]

@@kriegguardsman9117 Brian and Obsert have big hands, Eddie and Nick's hands are "big" by average comparison but not as big as Obie, Shaw, and I'd imagine that Uncle Loz also has fairly large hands compared to Eddie and Nick as well.

Notice loz did it walking on gravel too. Absolute beast

[@CosmosZeroX]

@@kriegguardsman9117 Mark Felix has the biggest hands even though he is not as tall as Shaw. But I guess that Shaw's hands are about the size of Felix's.

[@Mr_Jingles_147]

I've watched strongman for nearly 40 years and the Dinnie Stones are without doubt the most impressive feat of pure strength. No gloves, straps etc, uneven weight and shape, I thought Brian's record would stand for a very long time. Massive congrats Loz, you've made history!!

[@realstrength9049]

This would make a great event at the Arnold’s. Dinne stone replica carry for max distance. Congrats Loz!

[@soulessshadow5356]

I would say yeah I agree, and It absolutely would, but the problem with that is that it takes away from the special thing that is this feat of strength. There's nothing else like this when it comes to strength feats, and I would hate to see the legacy of this be lessened by adding an event specifically replicated from this feat in the Worlds competition. I feel like once athletes start to train specifically for this event, it won't be as big of a feat as it currently is. This is just my opinion of course, take it with a grain of salt :P Just a little food for thought of course!
