Stones of Strength Podcast

In this episode we had the pleasure of talking with Jarrett McPhee. Jarrett is someone who has taken the notion of creating a welcoming and enthusiastic Stonelifting community and has cranked the volume to 11. Enter "New England Stonelifting". Bringing forth a passion for developing not only beautiful stones in remarkable locations, but also tests of strengths for people of all experience levels and abilities, New England Stonelifting has rapidly developed a fantastic circuit of modern stones of strength that recent underwent its first full stone tour. Looking to create a legacy of strength in New England that is not only about one's own physical prowess but also about respecting the stones and each other, Jarrett has created a community that lifters generations from now will be proud to be apart of.

in this episode we talk to one of our StonelyFans competition winners, Alex Burlison. Alex has only been Stonelifting for a few years but, under the tutelage of the great Ryan Stewart, he has been able to translate the strength and problem solving mindset he developed rock climbing into a very deep and multi-faceted Stonelifting toolkit that has resulted in some incredible lifts! He was also gifted the mantle of further expanding the "Utah Stones of Strength" circuit which has expertly done, adding in numerous beautiful and challenging modern stones of strength in recent years. We dig into his intro to Stonelifting, technique and strength development, Stonelifting etiquette, the importance of community in his Stonelifting Journey thus far, and much much more!!!
