  • ROBERT: This is what we came

  • boys, these stones right here--

  • the Dinnie Stones.

  • For our final challenge in Scotland,

  • we're going to try and pick up and walk

  • with the legendary Dinnie Stones.

  • Donald Dinnie was the first super athlete

  • and honestly succeeded in almost anything he tried.

  • These are probably one of the most iconic

  • things in strength history.

  • NARRATOR: These two legendary Scottish boulders

  • were originally used as counterweights

  • during the construction of the Potarch bridge.

  • In 1860, Donald supposedly carried them

  • 17 feet across the width of that bridge.

  • So how are we going to pick these things up?

  • Supposedly, how he did it was he would pick and kind of,

  • like, hip thrust, drop back down,

  • step forward, pick, drop back down.

  • So it wasn't one continuous walk.

  • It was more of a up-down, up-down motion.

  • Right.

  • But there is a record for continuous walk,

  • it's a farmer's walk type carry.

  • You pick it at the sides, and it's one continuous walk

  • without dropping them.

  • And the record on that is just a little bit over eight feet.

  • So what are the exact combined weight of these stones?

  • So the big boy here is 414 and 1/2 pounds.

  • The little guy is 318 and 1/2 pounds, with a combined

  • weight of 733 pounds.

  • Jeez.

  • They're awkward.

  • They're big.

  • They're a lot tougher than it looks.

  • A lot of men have come, a lot of men have tried,

  • and a lot of men have failed to even break

  • these things off the ground.

  • If you can even lift the stones, you

  • get your name permanently put in the Dinnie Stones record book.

  • Let's go get geared up and get after this.

  • - Sounds good. - Cool.

  • Let's do it.

  • [applause]

  • All right, guys.

  • Just so you know, this white tape right here

  • is the current world record for the farmer style

  • carry with these stones.

  • Yup

  • OK?

  • You carry them in one fluid motion without dropping them,

  • from that line pass here, you own the world record.

  • OK.

  • Let's get it, guys. On you, Obie.

  • Good luck.

  • Ha, ha, get up.

  • Get up!

  • Come on!

  • [music playing]

  • [cheering]

  • Let's go, Obie. Let's go.

  • Let's go.

  • ROBERT: Ooh.

  • I had to drop.

  • It basically pried open my fingers

  • until it came out of my hands.

  • Ah, my hands are done, no, no.

  • Hands are done?

  • It was like holding 1,000 razor

  • blades digging into your hand.

  • Thanks, guys.

  • [groaning]

  • All right.

  • Let's go, Nick.

  • Come on, Nick.

  • [music playing]

  • [cheering]

  • Nice.

  • Good job, Nick.

  • Yeah, I measured that.

  • Come on, Ed.

  • Come on, Ed.

  • Let's go.

  • [cheering]

  • ROBERT: Up, up, up!

  • There you go, slow.

  • Slow!

  • ED: Holding onto the stones for so long,

  • I can literally feel the flesh in my hands tearing,

  • the skin tearing.

  • [cheering]

  • [bleep]

  • Nice work, dude.

  • Wow.

  • Oh my, look at that.

  • ROBERT: Oh, yeah.

  • Oh my god.

  • My hands are literally on fire.

  • Everything's cracked and creased,

  • and there's blood coming out my fingers.

  • That was one of the most painful things I've ever had

  • to do in my strongman career.

  • That was genuinely really painful.

  • There are moments in time as a strongman where the world seems

  • to stop because you're presented with a strength challenge

  • that you've heard about your entire life.

  • And the Dinnie Stones has been a feat of strength

  • that's been on my bucket list.

  • Commence. Come on.

  • Let's go.

  • Up!

  • Come on, B.

  • Brian is attempting to break the world

  • record in the continuous carry of the Dinnie Stones.

  • [music playing]

  • [cheering]

  • ROBERT: Let's go, Brian.

  • Come on.

  • - Come on! - Keep it going.

  • Keep it going. - Come on.

  • You got three feet, Brian.

  • Let's go.

  • [cheering]

  • Yes!

  • [applause]

  • 11 feet, 6 and 1/2 inches.

  • Brian, you just broke the world record for farmers

  • carry on Dinnie Stones.

  • Getting the opportunity to come to Scotland,

  • take on the Dinnie Stones, that's something I'll never

  • forget for the rest of my life.

  • I'm at a loss for words, Brian.

  • That's one of the coolest things I've ever seen.

  • BRIAN: Yeah. - That was really cool, man

  • BRIAN: I appreciate that, man.

  • Well done, Brian.

  • Thank you, guys.

  • Since all four of us successfully lifted the Dinnie

  • Stones, we got invited by the official record keeper

  • to permanently ink our names in the record book.

  • Brian, you have an entry for a full lift,

  • but you also have lift for a farmer's lift and carry.

  • All right.

  • So that is the world record.

  • That's 11 feet and 6 and 1/2 inches.

  • Awesome.

  • Yeah, buddy.

  • That was so cool.

  • Good job, buddy.

  • Thanks, brother.

  • That book is going to stay with those stones

  • forever, so anybody 50, 100 years from now

  • can look back and see my name in there

  • and what I accomplished with those stones.

  • All right.

  • You guys ready to eat?

  • Always.

  • Yeah.

ROBERT: This is what we came
