Is there any stones in the UK bigger/heavier than this? What's the biggest stone lifted from someone from the UK?I believe that lot down in Gloucester used to have a giant 250. I have a 235, rob has a 245 I believe. Felix lifted the 242 at the Arnold's which I believe is the heaviest lifted by a Brit but I had a torn bicep at the time. Iv3 don3 a set of 3 with my 235 | ||

 Still got a little bit of strength Member 400, 22044 posts | Last time I was at the gym (many months ago) we were told about one that weighed about a tonne (?) - and it had been lifted  Daws87/ALWEBB72, was it a tonne that we were told? I know it was something ridiculous. | ||

Terry 235x3 is crazy stuff. All these big stones are located down in Englandshire then? What about up here in Scotland, has Stuart Murray got a 205kg atlas stone? | ||

 hermit Member 3904, 988 posts | Big concrete balls are often used in civic architecture, you know around town squares and stuff. I wonder how much they weigh and if they are actually fixed to the ground? Perhaps someone could walk up and lift one. | ||

They must be 300+ kilo. | ||

Yeah they are cemented down mate , I clipped one on an ind est down poole with the back bar of an 24t wagon and it broke free , was tempted to get the forkie to load it on the back for me but thought better of it , middle of the afternoon with office windows all round was a bit obvious | ||
