  • Amazing strength, inspirational stories

    First, a disclaimer: outside of yardwork, I’ve never lifted a stone. I’ve never been to Ireland, Scotland, Iceland, or any of the other amazing places discussed on this podcast. But I am on my own strength journey, and I get a lot of inspiration from the interviews I hear on this show. The Nisbet Brothers are thoughtful, articulate, and funny hosts who have great conversations with some fascinating and powerful individuals. Everyone who appears on the show, including the host, are awesome ambass... more

  • Binge-worthy

    Excellent podcast that feels like sitting around a table with friends sharing the love of stones. You tap into the iceberg of stonelifting, revealing the depth of the sport. I highly recommend for stonelifters of all levels, and anyone else who got bored with powerlifting (no shade.) For the love of stones, thank you for this podcast.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 27 - Dr. Gísli Már Gíslason
Q: Could you explain the concept of Fullsterkur and how it differs from other lifting tests?
Fullsterkur refers to the most demanding form of lifting strength where a lifter completes a full circuit or passes all the tests associated with a stone, often including lifting from different angles or performing multiple stages historically used to test strength; it is a comprehensive measure of a lifter's capability beyond just lifting a single stone.
Episode 12 - The Return of David "Indiana Stones" Keohan
Q: Since we last had you on, what has happened in your life regarding stone lifting?
David shares about his journeys across Ireland, finding and lifting historical stones, and how Sean's involvement brought new awareness to stone lifting.
Episode 17 - Andy Crawford
Q: How can you do that and not snap your back?
It's about slow, progressive overload and getting comfortable with the weight and position over time.
Episode 17 - Andy Crawford
Q: Do you have any specific technique tips you have for shouldering heavy stones?
It's finding that magical safe back angle that balances you, not fighting gravity too much while lifting.
