in this episode we talk to one of our StonelyFans competition winners, Alex Burlison. Alex has only been Stonelifting for a few years but, under the tutelage of the great Ryan Stewart, he has been able to translate the strength and problem solving mindset he developed rock climbing into a very deep and multi-faceted Stonelifting toolkit that has resulted in some incredible lifts! He was also gifted the mantle of further expanding the "Utah Stones of Strength" circuit which has expertly done, adding in numerous beautiful and challenging modern stones of strength in recent years. We dig into his intro to Stonelifting, technique and strength development, Stonelifting etiquette, the importance of community in his Stonelifting Journey thus far, and much much more!!!
