My 555 lb Atlas Stone Load

Derek, is that the stone you were telling me about at the restauarant that day? Thats cool how they sandblasted it like that. Thats incredible.... Can it be used for competition?
 
I got three ruptures just watching...one groin, one gut, and one eye ball that just exploded!
 
common man just step it up to 600 already , :) by the looks of that it wont be a problem :)...

nice vid
 
Very nice, we still need you at the Nats to change to our slicks and back.

Yup, that'd be the one and only! Heaviest Atlas Stone ever made. It can be in a competition as it's identical to the one you saw the other two guys lifting, just a tad heavier!! :rock:
 
heavy equipment operator here and all i have to say is u are doing it the hard way. also remember i am fat and out of shape.

congrats on what u have accomplished!!!

and remember renting a backhoe is not that expensive :D :D :D :D :D
 
The dedication to your sport and your own conditioning is truly amazing. I somehow get the feeling watching you do this, that the competitions are just a way for you to measure your own progress.

"Viper Powered" on the stone is a nice touch.

Thanks FSTJACK, I guess in a way I only compete for self satisfaction!! I'm glad someone finally noticed the "Viper Power" on the stone. It's a bit of a spin off of when Jon Paul Sigmorsson and Svend Carlson used to yell "Viking Power" back in there days. A buddy joked about it and it has just kinda stuck ever since he did "The Viper" video several months back when I won Americas Strongest Man!

I cant honestly even say chicks dig it so I guees I do it because my calling in life is to lift stupid heavy objects! I was cursed at being great at a sport that gets very little recognition. I wish I was a great football player! I'd be worth millions :D
