UTAH STONES OF STRENGTH - Full Stone-lifting Documentary

[@unknownstrongman]

This was awesome. As a Stone lifter, I want the world to lift Stones. That alone says a lot. Great work here!

[@bearcammedia]

thank you!

[@coffeeandlifting]

I dragged a stone home from a creek bed years ago when gyms were ordered to be closed. Clean and press from the ground was a great workout. I love how indisputable natural strength standards are. You can't say the rules are unfair or that the referee's are bad. You can either do the thing with the rock or you can't.

[@couscousineau9162]

Same can be said about Gripsport

[@petehalupka1]

I just want to thank the filmmaker. As someone who recently fell in love with stonelifting, this is truly fantastic content. It's so inspiring too.

[@AwesomeEcho-tb3oj]

Thats was awesome. Does Martins know about this?

[@danielknisell7018]

I peeled a 200+ lb stone out of a walkway I was building. It’s shape and heft lent me to thinking I should pick it up. Something about it was calling me to give a shot. In the end I couldn’t… but there’s something that wanted me to. What is that?? There’s something alluring about it, something primal.

[@martzelvargaszabala3315]

Yo should check basque stone lifting!

[@johnoconnor4795]

What a great documentary! Stone lifting is one of the most fun strength challenges I have done. Getting to make my first trip to Scotland in August and then it looks like I need to head west.

[@bearcammedia]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Nirsterkur]

Great documentary. Thank you.

[@misterc5783]

This was great. The stones will be rich with stories in 100 years.

[@hessianrenaissanceman]

Amazing doc guys.

There is pleasure in the pathless woods, there is rapture on the lonely shore, there is society where none intrudes, by the deep sea with music in its roar, i love man not less, but nature more - Lord Byron

[@kevin_rsg_18]

Thank you Ryan! I shouldered the Moab stone and got the Little Cottonwood to my chest while on vacation in Utah all the way from Ohio in 2022. I hope to tackle more stones someday

[@IanB85]

Stone lifting became my go to exercise during Covid when gyms were closed

[@flavioabreu1378]

I watched this video and literally it lit my heart on fire ❤️‍🔥 I have always loved sandbags but after watching these passionate men and women lift with so much love, I need to get started. I can’t go to my grave without doing this! I don’t know anything about it, except what I’ve heard and seen here, but I sure will get knowledge ! Thank you for doing this. Wow!

[@bearcammedia]

Hell yes love to hear it!

[@RyanWoz]

I’m glad to see there is a larger community than I had known of those of us who enjoy the impossible of moving earth

[@harrisashraff]

Such a beautiful documentary. I have recently got serious about stone lifting. Lifted the dinnie stones, inver stone and some more stones in Scotland. Now this is has also been added to my bucket list. Definitely going to come to Utah and lift all the stones there.

[@bearcammedia]

Yesss do it!

[@cwstreeper]

This is great. I'm just getting interested in lifting stones. Thanks for this!

[@crawfordov24]

Excellent! Stone geeks forever! 🪨💪

[@thestonecircle]

Hey great video really enjoyed this!

[@FolksingerFitness]

Love to see this ancient tradition coming alive!

[@TrainingEverydayUntilIDie]

Awesome documentary, I started lifting stones just a couple of months ago and I like it a lot! The "you are going to break your feet / back" does happen way too often though 🤣

[@dietrootbeer_]

so psyched after watching this.

[@donaldstewart8494]

very cool indeed ! thinking I competed against Ryan in the highland games yrs ago.

[@MaximumIron]

Great documentary! Definitely deserves more views.

[@stonesofjoshua5516]

Fantastic documentary, I could watch this all day

[@rogerhart612]

Awesome documentary. I hope some day to come out there and lift the stones .👏💪💪

[@ethanking4954]

Glad I found this

[@onnoholling7107]

Fantastic video, thanks 👍🏼 Utah is on the list now💪

[@codyleehanson]

I’ve been really wanting to watch this one! Can’t wait

[@wolverineheyer]

Outstanding video!

[@darzaealonzo4954]

This is beautiful

[@davidbrodlie]

Great Documentary! But it's disappointing how nearly every lift shown resulted in dropping the stone from height. We in Scotland have a very strict rule of no dropping historic stones to prevent them from breaking. We lost the Wallace Putting Stone in 2018 after it was dropped from height by a visiting American. Would hate that to happen to other stones.

[@bearcammedia]

Yeah I think Ryans approach is that these are not historical stones, more sport stones. They are probably subject to a few hazards outside of being dropped even, and they are more or less replaceable. I know Ryan goes out of his way when lifting actual historic stones in EU to not drop them from height.

[@kvltizt]

this is awesome! i wanna pick up some stones!

[@otherblank8887]

Great work!

[@WCameron]

Loving this video. Beautiful little blossoming community.

[@bearcammedia]

Yeah we like to say its how bouldering was in the 90s!

[@WCameron]

@@bearcammedia That's awesome man!

[@lemmiwinks48]

Great documentary

[@bearcammedia]

👍

[@tylerheitmann1758]

Great film, I've always been curious about stone lifting as a climber. Seems like a lot of opportunity for stone lifting at bouldering crags. Maybe I'll keep my eyes open for some big rocks next time I'm out at the boulders here on the east coast.

[@miel_ap]

Makes for a cool warmup too ;)

[@bearcammedia]

Heck yeah let us know how it goes!

[@ianwhitehead3086]

Another fine film Bearcam!

[@bearcammedia]

Thank you

[@Chimpmanboom]

my dream vacation is to go to scotland and do a stone tour

[@bearcammedia]

Same

[@BulkBrogan.]

Those rock climber dudes are awesome they're like sticks everywhere except their backs! Motivates me to lift heavy stones to get a badass posterior chain

[@bearcammedia]

Bulk Brogan!

[@PHILF-pv9dy]

BROFORCE !!!

[@whelmking6497]

Surprinsingly inspirational doc about humans picking up big rocks. Thanks!

[@bearcammedia]

My pleasure

[@Amivgr1]

Front squats and rock lifting. All you need to get jacked and freaky strong

[@ejejej9200]

How was that guy ok when the stone fell on him. If anyone has any insight on that much appreciated. That’s what I would fear most.

[@mtnllama]

Love it. Big thanks to youtube.com/@CameronMaier for this! Something I can always look back on with great memories!

[@bearcammedia]

Yeah man! So happy we got to do this

[@Indiana_stones]

Right, fuck That I'm comin over. Looks awesome 💚💚💚

[@connorfilionlegault8437]

Anyone know anything about any historical Canadian stones of strength?

[@bearcammedia]

Yes

[@mumbojumbo02]

wow

[@karnaLiftseverything]

i am also doing a 60 days stonelifting challenge

[@hjarnansjarn5969]

I lifted stones from the sea today to make the bottom safer. That's why I searched for this.

[@bearcammedia]

excellent

[@Waizzie]

always blows my mind how strong these tiny-ass rock climbers are

[@bearcammedia]

Tiny ass being anyone under 250lbs ???

[@ethannkyle]

FUCK YEAH

[@ThaGoldsmith]

Honestly might wanna get your body weight up before playing with weight like that

[@xcephasx]

You go carry the stone before playing with comments like that
