    @MasonMcLeodFilms 11 місяців тому +3

    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.

It may not mean much coming from an internet stranger who has watched the channel for years but I am damn proud of you Romark!! 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.

    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!

    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.
