STONELIFTING: An Ancient Test Of Strength Revived

This book has everything a newcomer to the world of stonelifting would need to know: technique, progression and tips on lifting some historic stones. The book reads well and is engaging and straight to the point.In addition, the most surprising thing about this book is what it gave me emotionally. I had no idea there was such a deep history in stonelifting. This book as opened my eyes to the history and has given me a reason to lift stones aside from wanting to get stronger - connection. Lifting historic stones and entering into a long history of great lifters is a powerful and humbling motivator. I can’t wait until I lift my first stone. Let the training begin!

After doing the Highlands Historic Stone Tour with Martin Jancsics in 2018, I can safely say that he is one of the most passionate people on earth when it comes to stone lifting. This passion comes through in his book and it contains everything you need to know about this ancient sport, including the history behind each stone, the sizes, lifting technique, training etc. No stone has been left unturned in the book’s content (pun totally intended) and I can’t recommend it enough if you have any interest at all in stone lifting.

Really enjoyed this book. Set my goal to lift some of these stones in the future.

Recepient very pleased.
