Travis Willingham, a member at 1-0-7 Barbell becomes just the 4th American to hoist the Dinnie Stones in Scotland
UNASSISTED. Travis is a regular competitior in Highland Games, and an INCREDIBLY powerful raw lifter... Huge Congrats to him, will have pics up soon!
From Brad (Team Member):
To give you guys an idea of exactly what he's done, he's became only the 4th American in history to lift the 730+lb. Dinnie Stones without straps. He's been pulling every week for the past 16 weeks on replica dinnie rigs, adding weight each week. Last week he went to 800lbs for several pulls with straps. His hands have been absolutely destroyed by this thing b/c the stones must be pulled with small iron rings, one of which is so small only 3 fingers can fit through it.
Yep, he called to say he pulled them without straps. He said the handles had been polished smooth and he was standing in pea gravel so there were some extra obstacles. He's the 4th American to do so and the 27th person in the world to pull without straps. Got his name on the list at the pub where the stones sit.
From Ben (Team Member):
Travis has been training to lift the Dinnie Stones for a few months now. He left last week for Scotland. And today we received word he became the 4th American ever to lift the stones unassisted!!! And for good measure he did it twice more. If you don't know what the Dinnie Stones are google them. This is no small feat.
Congrats Travis and enjoy your free pint!
Awesome Intl. achievement for one of our gym members!
