The Ardblair Stones are nine reinforced concrete spheres ranging in weight from 18-152kg (40-335lbs).
The Stones must be loaded sequentially from lightest to heaviest (without the aid of tacky) onto whisky butts.
The whisky butts are a height of 132cm which is equivalent to 52 inches.
The event is judged on the time taken and the number of stones successfully loaded onto the butts.
The Ardblair Stones are an annual feature of the Blairgowrie & Rattray Highland Games which is held in Perthshire, Scotland.
The Stones also go on tour from time to time, they may feature at Festivals, Shows, Expositions and Highland Games.
The Ardblair Stones are free to participate in, although there may be a charge to gain access to the venue in which they are located, sometimes this may simply be a donation towards charity.
Anyone may participate in the Ardblair Stones, regardless of their sex, age or physical ability and there is no maximum time limit.
I tried this with a medecine ball in the gym, obviously lighter weight, but the next day, I incredibly had more strength. Maybe give it time and smaller reps.
Hi My name is Ajmal and always wanted to train with a strong it will be an honor to spend a day with Tom and Luke Soltman . Eat and train like a strongman
So the year is 2024. Just yesterday Tom won his 3rd Worlds Strongest Man title and i’m still convinced they trained a brown bear to wear a human costume and compete. That or CGI. This man is unreal.
