The stones are the ultimate test of a strongman. Nothing is more human than picking something heavy up from the floor and nothing in the strongman lexicon tests this feat of strength out than lifting a heavy stone.
Vinny here is trying the stones for the first time having struggled with this particular one 8 times previously. It just goes to show that strength is only one aspect of this event... technique plays a major role.
Arms were a little bruised and battered towards the end...
