    Man that moment Romark lifted it was just so cool, reminds me why I fell in love with strength; one day something is impossible, and then after training and hardwork, you break through that barrier. It also makes me very proud to see someone like Martins so highly praise the Scottish landscape; its easy to feel it pales in comparison to the majesty of the North American landscape, but it has it's own wholly unique beauty.

    Inspired by all this stone lifting marlarky I picked up a big ole slab of sea wall (?) in Whitby ( UK ) no idea of the weight it was sandstone and cut me to ribbons 😂 but lifted it about 4 or 5 times!
    Maybe only 80-90 kilo or so but awkward lift for a small guy like me.

    As an Aberdonian, I absolutely loved this episode. Even managed to spot myself a couple of times in the crowd for the Dinnie Stones! That was the first time I'd ever attended a strongman event, and now I want to lift the Dinnies myself. Might take a while until I'm that strong though!

Martins not to be left out on your own channel you are a giant bad ass in your own right. (The giant pun was entirely intentional) keep up the fantastic work guys you are inspiring a generation of men and women with your well crafted stories and it is extremely appreciated.

    I need to do a small correction at 14:04 The second woman to do it strapless is Finland's Annika Eilmann who also holds the women's world record for the longest Dinnie hold at 10.31 seconds, done in 2019. First woman to do it strapless is Emmajane Smith in 2019, six months before Annika.

    People who never tried lifting a stone may not understand. I dabbled a bit with stones up to 90 kg in my garden a few years ago, and I know, how difficult stones can be to lift.
    Martins pressing those big ones is also very impressive.
