That's the motto of the fundraising event event I was in today. Also known as "The first time I used Atlas Stones" Made it up t0 110kg (242) before I ran out of the needed horsepower. Hit 210 pretty easy maybe 10 reps on that one plus a bunch more on the 200 and 180 stones. Here are some pics and a big THANK YOU to the folks that donated.

Some guys did. Before I tried the 110k I sprayed on some carpet glue. When I missed that one I thought it was just because I didn't have the horses needed to pull it. The strongman guys all said it was grip and that I had the pull. I thought they were just being nice. I saw some pics of that attempt and sure enough I did have it up and you can see where my left side let go...oh well lesson learned and something to shoot for next time.
