ok i should be in bed now as i have to be up at 5.the fun part is i have to get the 220# granite marble out of my apartment into the back of my truck.
hah you all thought the name of my blog was a reference to me but yes there is a big granite ball and although i think stone lifting is the purest form of lifting,doing it at 6 a.m. is not a thrilling prospect.
we are using the sphere as a side contest,90 seconds to the shoulder for reps.apparently they drummed up about 3oo bucks for this little trial.the fun part is that this stone is like a big nasty cheese grator.this rock eats human flesh.people will be bleeding,god the things we do for fun.the funny thing is we wear our lifting and throwing scars with pride.
lifting stones is a thankless task.you do it because you can.every time you put a little air between the stone and the grass it is a temporary victory.unlike barbells,you cannot remove a little weight so you can get it up.you will either lift it or you will not and in the end the stone will win because stones stand the test of time just a little better than peoples.you lift stones knowing the day will come when you cannot move them anymore but untill then,you lift them because you can.
