DR. KEN walks the walk and sets a great example for us STONE LIFTERS!!! Another Good Day Training at age 61.
Steve-
I thought that before I got too old and too skinny, I would spend more time with your stones before I couldn't. I would like to brag that this is the 320 pound or even the 280 pound stone you made for us but my training partners know its only the 230 pounder but at 140 pounds soaking wet and at the age of 61, it was enough. With Kathy yelling encouragement like "Don't do it!", "Put it down, one rep is enough.", and "You're nuts, stick to the barbell.", I had as per usual, a great workout. Thanks for all of the wonderful products.Doc
Thanks Doc for your support and encouragement you help make us all better people as well as better lifters. (Proverbs 27:17) if you don't know it.. look it up. Good Stuff..... Steve

Just a few of our Logs...

Steve Slater hoist'n the 360lb stone
at the 2007 North American Strongman Nationals held in Las Vegas.
I finished this year by placing 8th out of 22 at the Nationals but over all had a good year by winning the St. Louis Strongest Man middleweight division and the Pennsylvania's Strongest Man masters division. This years NAS Nationals was a blast and I encourage anyone interested in strongman/woman competitions to try out NAS competitions they are truly a great organization. I’m now looking forward to improving my conditioning and flexibility issues this next year by incorporating an old off season strongman workout Jesse Marunde helped me with back in 2002 and also seeking the Kettlebell advice of Art Of Strength’s Anthony DiLuglio. Thanks to Wes Sim's Buckeye Hammerhouse for supplying such a great training atmosphere, Team Boss you guys are awesome for your support and coaching and my wife and family for training right there with me. I appreciate everyone’s encouragement and support. It was great to meet and compete with everyone this year. Good luck with next years training, stay safe and well!

No Really.....
