Trial Lifting

When you visit the Clan McClurg Stone Circle Strongman tent at any Celtic Festival, you will have a chance to lift and interact with the legendary McClurg Manhood Stones.  So long as you are physically fit and in healthy condition (as described in the waiver you must sign), you are welcome to attempt to lift the stones.  Once given a green light, you will read and sign the waiver, hopefully donate $10 cash (which helps Clan McClurg continue to run SCS), and you will then receive personal coaching by SCS staff on site about how to lift a manhood stone properly and safely.  However, as we want everyone's experience to be nothing but positive, we do reserve the right to deny trial lifting to any whom we deem unsuitable for any reason (that means you, the one with the 4th pint of Guinness in your hand!) It's not something we wish to do, but we take everyone's safety seriously, and we take pride in running a safe and fun experience.  So show up healthy, happy, and ready to interact with ancient Celtic tradition, and we will help you Rock Hard!

​

In addition to trial lifting of the heavy manhood stones, SCS also is a live-action workout station where stone weightlifting/bodybuilding exercises are performed by visitors and SCS staff nonstop.  It is the overall mission of SCS that people know that resistance training doesn't require gym memberships and has always been available in nature--that stones of all shapes and sizes can help everyone of all shapes and sizes be strong and healthy and feel that special connection to the natural world. So if you just want to get a workout in, get your pump on at the SCS tent with any the weightlifting stones there.  We will happily coach and encourage you as you get Built from Stone!
