Want to build real-world strength that actually makes a difference? Learn how to lift stones like a true strongman! This episode of Mark Bell’s Power Project Podcast breaks down the basics of stone lifting and why it’s so different—and more rewarding—than lifting barbells or machines.

Mark Bell and Nsima Inyang are joined by Caveman Daveman in Episode 1142 to explore the art of lifting sandbags, stones, and other unconventional tools. Discover how grip strength, core bracing, and endurance play massive roles in getting stronger. They also dive into the history of stone lifting, how it connects to ancient traditions, and why it’s still a powerful test of resilience today.
