Well,
this is my page and gives me the opportunity
to let you see what I get up to. As someone
recently said to me " if your gonna talk
it, you gotta walk it" I think he meant,
dont talk about it just do it.
Some
Canny Lifts.
Unassisted lift of The Dinnie Stones,
785lbs 17th November 2006. The lift was witnessed
by Steve Angell and Craig Beedie, the new landlord
of the Potarch Hotel
The
bigger stone weighs over 400lbs. The stones
have rings attached to them as they were once
used for tieing up horses. The way to lift those
stones is to do both at the same time by the
rings handles. The handles are not very big
which adds to the difficulty.
17th
November 2006. The Inver Stone
goes up three times
The Inver Stone was, and for
that matter still is, a smooth, gray granite boulder
shaped through the centuries by the Dee River
into an almost perfect sphere weighing 268 pounds.
Hang
On Tight!
I
love grip work. From holding on to a ten pound
note to hanging off a cliff edge - grip to
me is important. If your grip is not sufficient,
you are going to struggle lifting heavy weights.
The kettlebell has a 75mm think handle and
is one of my favorite toys. The 165lbs Anvil
was Lifted by the point with one hand.
Bend
It Like a Bear
In
the days of old, they used to say, the test
of true strength and grip, is to take a horse
shoe and then try to twist it. Doesn't sound
like much does it? But if you think about it,
a horse shoe by its very nature in manufacture,
is a heat treated piece of iron - its got to
be tough to withstand a tonne of horse pounding
on it.
One
Man And His Dog..
I
hear the excuses and I'm sure you've heard them
yourself. You show someone your routines what
you do, maybe a friend or member of the family,
and they say, " that looks great - but I'm
too busy to start training." The truth of
the matter is, you're never too busy to train.
All you have to do is incorporate training into
your life-style. There's always the opportunity
to do something, no matter how small. Wallace
(the slightly better looking of the two)
and I go for long walks in the countryside, and
if I feel the need I take a couple of dumbbells
along for company...
The
Highlanders Guide To Kettlebell Swinging
I
take an old bath towel, thread it through a 16kg
KB, keep a tight hold of the ends of the towel
and slowly start swinging it around my body, gradually
building up the speed as I go. It really pumps
the shoulders and arms.
Please!
Please! Please remember: Don't attempt this indoors
or near your friends, family, the car, windows
or pets! And don't let go!!! You don't need a
heavy KB to try this but PLEASE BE CAREFUL!!!!!
When the fire goes out, bend
it cold.
16mm round bar x 37" long. not to bad
to bend.
10mm round x 10" long. Hard.
8mm round, hair pinned. Fairly easy.
Horse Shoe, twisted. Fairly easy.
Iron Mind Red Nail, partial bend. Very Hard.
