Conquering the Hernia Stone

[Drumheller477]

How heavy is your stone?

[redbeardsm]

@Drumheller477 @HHH396 I honestly don't know. I've never weighed it. The guy who gave it to me said it was about 400, but I'm sure it's far lighter than that. If I had to guess I'd say, ballpark, 250...but that's just a guesstimate.

@xjusticex2013x Just above the navel.

@Pinhwinos Sure you will. It'll take time to recover, but eventually you'll be just fine. I have lifted far more since the hernia than I ever did before.

[HHH396]

Haha great video man! Strong lifting! How much does that bad boy weigh?

[Pinhwinos]

Good job! I have a hernia 2 now! I'm afraid I won't be able to lift again =(

[xjusticex2013x]

Where did you get a hernia?

[GoldenRule111]

atleast you take care of your weight.

[PeterBraunful]

Every time you grab the stone, it's getting a little bit lighter cause of corrosion - no wonder you lifted it after 3 years overhead ;D only joke - fine increase/video!

[redbeardsm]

@PeterBraunful Hey, whatever works, man :)

[samurai69]

Nice lifting.  do you know the weight of the stone, next month i am off up to scotland to lift and maybe press the inver stone (126kg)

[redbeardsm]

@samurai69 It may be somewhere in the same neighborhood as the Inver, but there are a couple of places where holding it is convenient. IIRC, the Inver is pretty smooth.

[redbeardsm]

Oops....just saw when you posted that. How'd your trip go?

[ExplodingSilver]

really enjoyed that, great vid

[sarethums]

thats very inspirational!

[reillyj18]

i just wanna high five you!

[pkshae]

Is it safe to lean back that much when pushing the stone up? Doesn't seem good for the back...

[redbeardsm]

@pkshae

For a beginner, it's probably not. I've been doing this type of stuff for a while and I can generally tell what I can get away with and what I can't.

[onepluseipi]

Is like an love affair in the stone... Thats truely primal... Keep going man!

[redbeardsm]

@onepluseipi

Thanks. I appreciate it.

[DocKimura]

Awesome perseverance! Great video and music as well!

[redbeardsm]

@DocKimura

Thanks. I was inspired to press it after watching "The Incredible Hulk" but I couldn't find any Hulk music. :)

[ScottishStone]

Well done!

[redbeardsm]

@ScottishStone

Thanks.

[chumbulezco]

[IvanDrago187]

Bravo! Good job!

[redbeardsm]

@IvanDrago187

Thanks man!

[samsonprado]

dude how much does that stone weigh???????

[redbeardsm]

I'm not exactly sure. The guy who gave it to me said it was a little under 400. I'm thinking it's a lot under 400. My best log is 300 (though I think I'm probably good for 320 or so by now). I'm horrible at guessing weights though.

[samsonprado]

well i jus wanted to know cuz that looks like a pretty BIG stone. i've got one about the same size just sittin in my back yard. gonna take me a while to even lift it. random queshtion: how tall are you and how much do you weigh in this video?

[redbeardsm]

I'm about 6' tall and about 300#

[vonguinness]

nice work, i love how you lift in flip flops...i do the same

[redbeardsm]

Thanks man. I had just gone to see the new Hulk movie and was inspired. I didn't want to bother with putting shoes on.

[benchpressgorilla]
