Martins Licis Instagram - Arriving at our Osaka AirBnB in Japan… I couldn’t fit up the stairs… 😅  #strengthunknown  #stonelifting
Martins Licis Instagram - What a vibrant and eye opening festival this was! Here, the first athlete, Junaid, performs a unique stone lifting style called “Bugdar,” swinging a 153kg (336lb) stone to his shoulder with both hands. The second athlete, Umair Hassan, impressively hoists a 200kg (440lb) stone to his shoulder, despite weighing only 80 kg. Pakistan boasts incredible strength. PAKISTAN!
Martins Licis Instagram - I’m good at sprints… but that jogging thing… I don’t like it. Whatever it takes to keep up that work capacity! I vowed I would not return to the sport in the shape I was in during the previous Rogue Invitational, and I’ll uphold myself to it. 

Lately, my body has been powerful and strong, but pushing work-capacity through weights wears on my joints too much to rely on that for high-rep events. So plan is… crisp and efficient strength training, followed by extracurricular endurance-training. I’ve been doing Jiu Jitsu, which has been awesome! But I also need to work on my foot speed for longer-duration runs.
Martins Licis Instagram - 2024… It’s time to REIGN!
Happy New Year’s my friends! 

@reignbodyfuel
Martins Licis Instagram - If you haven’t already seen it, check out this Episode of Strength Unknown, China, on my YT channel! Witnessing these older folks throwing around 50-100lb stones like toys made me rethink the trajectory of my later years. - Be ready for the next Episode releasing THIS Wednesday at 2PM PST.  @romarkweiss and I have been working hard on these episodes! You don’t want to miss it, as we will be visiting one of the greatest weightlifters, Lu Xiaojun! #strengthunknown
Martins Licis Instagram - What do you guys think? Can you do this? 

FINALLY, we made it to the mountains of Pakistan where in the KPK region we found the most remarkable stone lifting style ever seen! Here, @jawadahmedchamp cleans and squats a 150kg (330lb) stone with ease. 

During the clean, the stone is not allowed to touch the body. Only in the catch, during the receiving stage of the lift, can the stone rest on the chest. Afterwards, the competitor will squat the stone with each squat adding points to their score for the following opponent to attempt and best. STRENGTH UNKNOWN
Martins Licis Instagram - Even after everything we’ve been through, @romarkweiss and I are still students of Strength. The deeper we go into the journey of STRENGTH UNKNOWN the more we learn… that there’s so much more to learn…

Thank you so much to the people of Pakistan for being amazing hosts and welcoming us to your incredible culture. You are truly the land of hospitality!

Martins Licis Instagram - Each video we do, we put more and more love into! And we’ve finally put this grandiose action-packed episode together. Tune in Sunday 9AM PST to check out our next EPIC adventure, exploring Mongolian Wrestling on my YT page 💪
Martins Licis Instagram - 803lbs/365kg for a raw triple, and feeling good. - Obviously took quite a bit of @reignbodyfuel for this one today! Still trying to catch up with my old strength of repping this for double digits, raw.😈 (although that was touch and go). I promised @mitchellhooper that if I could start repping this weight, it would be a good sign for me competing again next year. 💪👊 So alright buddy, it looks like I’ll be back. Just gotta keep it slowly creepin’ up for the @arnoldsports strongman classic and beyond. I’m excited!
Martins Licis Instagram - This was one of the happiest mornings, that I’ll carry with me for life. As a birthday gift and a thank you for all he’s done, I made a painting for @schwarzenegger , and he told me he loved it! 🙌 I’m speechless. Rarely, do I share my artwork with the public, but this was worth it. Thank you for the pump session, bike ride, and a wonderful breakfast and conversation!

Martins Licis Instagram - First Day of sumo at 立浪部屋 (Tatsunami stable) in Japan, shooting for our YT series “Strength Unknown!” Do not underestimate this sport. It is brutal. It is explosive. It hurts. And I absolutely love it. 💪 More tomorrow! I hope to survive.

Martins Licis Instagram - WOW I got to witness @biglozwsm breaking his old world record Dinnie Stones walk of (332kg 730lbs total) for an amazing 22 ft 4 in, surpassing his old record of 14 ft 10 in! Simply majestic to watch! This feat is much harder than it looks, as the stones are not of equal weight, are an awkward clumsy shape and size, and the handgrips are thin rings that rip at one’s fingers. Huge congratulations Big Loz! Always strong 💪
Martins Licis Instagram - This is called “Iron Ring,” it’s used as an accessory for traditional mud wrestling to strengthen the neck. The ring weighs 100 kg (220 lbs). Within a few repetitions, at this weight, the traps, upper back, and neck muscles immediately tense up. Finishing just one set, I felt a pump in my neck like never before. . . Could this be a future strongman event? 😈 … and a huge thank you to my new friend and Pakistani wrestling legend @tayyabwrestler_97 for showing me your ways 💪 #strengthunknown #pakistan
Martins Licis Instagram - We filmed @martinslicis side quest. MIAMI digital short dropping soon 🎥👀

Deadlifts are continuing to feel the best on my hips since 2018! 🙌 Couldn’t be more grateful. My guess? Continuing working the little stuff I’ve learned from @physicaltherapySanPedro , @squatuniversity and also practicing Jiu Jitsu regularly with @torsehouse , as my hips are being trained in ways I could never mimic in a gym setting. @sbdapparel

Martins Licis Instagram - Last Weekend, @shawstrength competed in his final show and gained the title “The Strongest Man on Earth!” Competing with you has been an honor, and a dream come true. 🙏 Most of all, what you’re doing with the @theshawclassic is extraordinary and you have my full respect. The way the athletes are treated, the thoughtfulness of the events and timing of their release, the love and passion you put back into the community is something you go above and beyond in accomplishing! I am sorry I haven’t been to your show as of yet, but seeing it grow and hearing from the athletes about how great you run it, brings me great joy! I wish you the best of success brother, and hope to join your show at some point when I’m aching a little less. Hopefully next year 💪👊

Martins Licis Instagram - What an incredible show! One of the best run, smoothest, and most glorious shows I’ve ever been a part of! Everybody that competed was absolutely incredible. Huge congratulations to @mitchellhooper @kieliszkowskimateusz and @tomstoltmanofficial for killing this show. - for me on the other hand… what a couple of strange days. My body refused to cooperate. My heart wasn’t aligned with my head. . . It will not happen again. I will bring the best of myself to Worlds Strongest Man and beyond! 💪 Much love to all who came!
Martins Licis Instagram - The difference in angles when @kelc33 films and @thorbjornsson 😂 I’ve never seen my Romanian deadlifts from a Birds Eye view before. Thank you for the epic workout you guys 💪 - After traveling for nearly two months abroad, to come home for a night and the very next morning fly across the country to make an appearance at @mrolympiallc sure makes for a rough workout! But being reunited with the @reignbodyfuel crew makes it all worth it. 🫶

Martins Licis Instagram - Back to my roots… It seems, I can never escape this job 🧹😢  

Sometimes I ask myself, did my prior janitorial duties play a roll in my ascent to Worlds Strongest Man? Will this maybe help me refine sumo techniques? Maybe we’ll never know. But the sweeping, must go on.

Martins Licis Instagram - What a view; Osaka, Japan 🇯🇵! Getting in 605lb (275kg) deadlifts in (until a strap broke at least) 😆 This visit is one of the greatest adventures I’ve ever been on, and there’s still 1.5 more weeks to go! I’m going to cease every moment I can. Everywhere I’ve been to, from remote nature, small towns and big cities, there’s been an abundance of fairytale-like beauty. Shrines are serene and peaceful, and can be found just about anywhere… the gardens are meticulously cared for and seemingly assembled as if for a painting, and the cities have a textured and varied scenery that leaves no room for boredom. @barbellapparel @kazunori.hikida

Martins Licis Instagram - No place like California for me. Absolutely love living here! Even more so, I’m loving how my body is feeling. I’m currently lifting 4x a week and hitting Jiu Jitsu 3x a week. My aim with lifting is speed and technique with no pain (a slow and steady approach)… and then using JJ to keep my conditioning and work capacity progressing. The way it’s been forcing me to use my hips in guard is unlike anything I can replicate in the gym, and my hips are feeling the best they have been in 5 years because of it. It’s exciting to try this new approach and to see where this journey will take me 👊

Martins Licis Instagram - Unraveling this history for our series “Strength Unknown” is going to be wild! - We’re standing on top of a mountain in the Svenati region of Georgia attempting to ring this bell! They say it’s 100kg(220lbs), but it seriously feels more like 200kg! This was hard! - The ethnic people of Svenati, the “Svens,” compete with one another to see who can get the most rings of the bell without setting it down. Not to be underestimated! This ancient culture is STRONG!! 💪
Martins Licis Instagram - What a year! Strength is coming back like a storm! 🤞 Please keep going in this direction ya ol’ tugboat of wonders 💪 amongst squats and other secret heavy drills I’m doing for my events, things are coming along great. 385lb stone shoulder alternations for core strength, 920lb frame carry, and an 855lb eccentric to block pull deadlift. And all feeling fantastic. At this point, just gotta maintain and keep it pain free while eliminating weaknesses. Thank you @sbdapparel @sbd.usa for keeping me supported through these heavy sessions. Almost time for the battle of gravity, and I’m happy for it. And of course, I couldn’t be more grateful for the support of @jacobfinerty and @nadiastowers_bigstorm making the drive out here day after day to train together, thank you guys so much! 🫶
Martins Licis Instagram - The best gym accessory around 😂🤝

#REIGNBodyFuel #TotalBodyFuel #gym #gymhumor
Martins Licis Instagram - Chalk-only 385lb stone to shoulder. Tiny slip, but no problem. 💪 2.5 months out from @arnoldsports and body is feeling the best it has in years. Couldn’t be more grateful. One baby step at a time, and I will inch closer to show-ready… 🤫 Don’t place your bets on me. It makes it more fun. @wreckitgym
Martins Licis Instagram - Summertime working on stabilization. I should do this more often 🤩 @tyrsport
Martins Licis Instagram - 5 reps and feeling good! It takes a lot of @reignbodyfuel to get through a day like this…. 100 sit-ups, 100 push-ups, 100 squats, 10km run, and 1.5 hours of Jiu Jitsu before hitting leg day. Okay, maybe not all of that, but the Jiu Jitsu part with @torse_house is accurate 😆 and I did have a bit of Reign… #squats
Martins Licis Instagram - Mini trip to Latvia always refuels my spirit! 405lb (185kg) squats with pauses, then regular reps to finish out. Always a good time training with @aivars.smaukstelis ! 
Feeling better every week. Can’t wait to go heavy again! 👊 In due time…

Martins Licis Instagram - It’s time to pack on the muscle again!! What are your favorite @321podium products? My must haves are the peanut butter crunch protein and creatine 💪 Currently, the training is light, but will rapidly ramp up in the coming month to prepare for The Arnold Classic! … (sigh) still gotta sweep here and there, guys. Some things never change 😒 be sure to use promo code “Martins” when ordering yourselves Podium supplements 🤩
Martins Licis Instagram - This is the best job I’ve ever had. There’s no doubt of that. Despite that, some days I dont want to clock in, but the march goes on anyways. The last show, @arnoldssports strongman classic definitely rocked me... and getting my headspace to be that of a warrior again is proving a worthy challenge. Yet, I will find that spark again to turn job into passion. It is my mission. - In the meantime, I’m increasing my frequency of physical therapy and working variants of motions that don’t aggravate this nasty sciatica, and breaking through fear to find my inner monster. 
—-
This workout was a bit of an adjustment from my original plan, as I have to find what works for my body. First, I did mechanical dropsets with front squats and back squats down onto a box height where sciatica felt good. After that, partial range split squats, Conan’s wheel holds for time, various isolation accessories and finally some light sandbag carries for 30sec max distance/ 30sec rests for 10minutes.
Martins Licis Instagram - We were told we’d get a tropical storm… and all we got was this silly drizzle :( 

At least my @tyrsport shoes are sexy.
Martins Licis Instagram - Thank you @cambidude for getting me into this training style! And thank you @roguefitness for sending us one of these beauties! … If this bar isn’t launched to lockout with speed, it gets brutally difficult QUICK! Therefore, it’s great for rehearsing powerful leg drive and deliberate lockouts 💪 If you don’t have a tsunami bar at home, you can emulate this with some bands and kettlebells attached to the ends of a bar. Good luck!
Martins Licis Instagram - 870lb / 395kg Deadlift moving smooth and painless. Plenty of time to iron it out and make it move faster and then get heavier 😎 Best my body has felt since 2018 and training is feeling fun again! 

- Get those weights up, build that muscle and GET IT ON THIS ACTION with @podium ‘s “ONE AND DONE” deal. It’s their biggest deal of the year, so don’t miss out. 💪

Martins Licis Instagram - Blast off! 😈
I’m happy with the speed! Not happy with the stumble... To progress further, I need to earn it by cleaning that up to perfection before increasing weight. 
5 months to Arnold’s and in a damn good place. Alternating between dumbbell, log and axle to have all bases covered. Slow and steady (except when I actually go in for the press) @sbdapparel #sbdapparel

Martins Licis Instagram - It’s not easy getting ready for a series of strongman competitions… in this sport, there’s an infinite variety of what you may encounter when it comes to lifting heavy stuffff. Luckily, @sbdapparel always has my back (literally), allowing me to lift more, more often, and more intensely with a furious rage to win! 💪 There’s simply no lever belt out there that compares with the easy adjustability and sturdiness of SBD! Now made even better with their new slim design. Gotta give it a try! 👊😎 NOW TIME TO GET COMPETITION READY ONE AGAIN!
Martins Licis Instagram - Conditioning-squats feeling good and flowing fast. Next week, on to something a bit heavier 😎👊 @tyrsport shoes #wreckit #squats
Martins Licis Instagram - Sandbag suicides are killller! Too many strongman competitors rely purely on barbell strength, and neglect that they are athletes when it comes to show day. Being able to move quickly, consistently, and without slowing down, is paramount to winning carry medleys! - with that said, I’ve got to do these more! I’ve been taking it very easy over the past few weeks to nurse my back, and it shows. This sandbag is the heaviest thing I’ve lifted in a while 😆 @theworldsstrongestman 

@romarkweiss
Martins Licis Instagram - I’ve been itching to try this for WAY TOO LONG, and it finally happened! Sumo wrestling at the Tatsunami stable in Japan was an eye-opening experience I’ll never forget. The level of athleticism and focus in the stable was phenomenal. The traditions and movements, beautiful. The lifestyle, unforgiving, merciless and incredibly rewarding. Tune in Tomorrow at 10AM PST , and join us in this, one of a kind, deep dive into the world of Rikishi on my YT channel.
Martins Licis Instagram - 日本の力石はすごいです! Our first full Day in Japan filming for “Strength Unknown” couldn’t be more eventful and fulfilling 🙌 The lifting stones they have are on another level. With more then ten thousand historic stones accounted for, many with ancient engravings denoting successful lifters of said stones, I am left wondering, just how extensive was their stone lifting culture? Why did such an intense passion for stone lifting fade? What other surprises does this country hold in strength history? Well, thanks to these shrines that still honor these precious stones, we can get a little glimpse back in time, to a Japan that made the earth quake with a zest for hoisting rock and mastering strength. Thank you so much for having us and allowing us to give these lifts a go!

Martins Licis Instagram - In his first show back, @martinslicis has his sights set on one spot - the top of the podium. 

Martins Licis’s “Road to the Arnold” drops Monday. 

#ryourogue
Martins Licis Instagram - While my sciatica heals, the more I can decompress my back, the better. Pull-ups have always, and hopefully will continue to be, a go to for my back training. Lately, I’ve been a bit slower with them due to some right shoulder pains, but the strength is still there 💪 time to get these moving smooth again!
Martins Licis Instagram - STRENGTH UNKNOWN JAPAN! It’s been a long time in the making and now only days away! Be sure to check it out on my YT page, like, sub, share tell your Mom, friends gardener and your neighbors cat! @romarkweiss and I put our hearts into this one, and it’s going to be epic. 💪 Tune in on Sunday the 12th and venture with us to the Land of the Rising Sun. #strengthunknown
Martins Licis Instagram - What an epic setup here in Shanghai with @savickas_bigz for the FIRST EVER “Chinas Strongest” competition! Absolutely honored to referee alongside this legend. Huge thank you to @trav_hayes and @ambrulo for putting this together. Ever since we first came here to do seminars in 2019, you’ve continued to push the growth of our beloved sport and it brings me great joy.

Martins Licis Instagram - Second year, second WORLD’S STRONGEST NATION! Only this time, the Gold will come home to us in The USA 🇺🇸 !! Incredibly proud of our team for pulling through on this absolute nail-biter of a competition! The UK were phenomenal and we had to give it everything we had to wrap up the show and take the win. I’m sure they will be sharper than ever next year, so we will also need to dig down deeper to raise our game for yet another victory 💪 Lastly, huge thank you to @giantslive for putting together the BEST series of shows that exist on the planet and leading the charge in growing our beloved sport!
Martins Licis Instagram - Hope you guys had an awesome 4th! Recently, I became a proud USA 🇺🇸 Citizen and was lucky enough to receive a note from the man, @schwarzenegger himself! He told me he celebrated by dressing in red white and blue and topped it off with a stoggie. It wasn’t easy to get an outfit that fit, but alas, perfection take time 👌 Came just before America’s birthday. Thank you for always being a major inspiration Arnold! And thank you for not letting me take it easy on celebrating!

Martins Licis - 104.1K Likes - What a vibrant and eye opening festival this was! Here, the first athlete, Junaid, performs a unique stone lifting style called “Bugdar,” swinging a 153kg (336lb) stone to his shoulder with both hands. The second athlete, Umair Hassan, impressively hoists a 200kg (440lb) stone to his shoulder, despite weighing only 80 kg. Pakistan boasts incredible strength. PAKISTAN!

Martins Licis - 85K Likes - I’m good at sprints… but that jogging thing… I don’t like it. Whatever it takes to keep up that work capacity! I vowed I would not return to the sport in the shape I was in during the previous Rogue Invitational, and I’ll uphold myself to it. 

Lately, my body has been powerful and strong, but pushing work-capacity through weights wears on my joints too much to rely on that for high-rep events. So plan is… crisp and efficient strength training, followed by extracurricular endurance-training. I’ve been doing Jiu Jitsu, which has been awesome! But I also need to work on my foot speed for longer-duration runs.

Martins Licis - 62.9K Likes - What do you guys think? Can you do this? 

FINALLY, we made it to the mountains of Pakistan where in the KPK region we found the most remarkable stone lifting style ever seen! Here, @jawadahmedchamp cleans and squats a 150kg (330lb) stone with ease. 

During the clean, the stone is not allowed to touch the body. Only in the catch, during the receiving stage of the lift, can the stone rest on the chest. Afterwards, the competitor will squat the stone with each squat adding points to their score for the following opponent to attempt and best. STRENGTH UNKNOWN

Still trying to catch up with my old strength of repping this for double digits, raw.😈 (although that was touch and go). I promised @mitchellhooper that if I could start repping this weight, it would be a good sign for me competing again next year. 💪👊 So alright buddy, it looks like I’ll be back. Just gotta keep it slowly creepin’ up for the @arnoldsports strongman classic and beyond. I’m excited!

Simply majestic to watch! This feat is much harder than it looks, as the stones are not of equal weight, are an awkward clumsy shape and size, and the handgrips are thin rings that rip at one’s fingers. Huge congratulations Big Loz! Always strong 💪

Within a few repetitions, at this weight, the traps, upper back, and neck muscles immediately tense up. Finishing just one set, I felt a pump in my neck like never before. . . Could this be a future strongman event? 😈 … and a huge thank you to my new friend and Pakistani wrestling legend @tayyabwrestler_97 for showing me your ways 💪 #strengthunknown #pakistan

My heart wasn’t aligned with my head. . . It will not happen again. I will bring the best of myself to Worlds Strongest Man and beyond! 💪 Much love to all who came!

Martins Licis - 10K Likes - The difference in angles when @kelc33 films and @thorbjornsson 😂 I’ve never seen my Romanian deadlifts from a Birds Eye view before. Thank you for the epic workout you guys 💪 - After traveling for nearly two months abroad, to come home for a night and the very next morning fly across the country to make an appearance at @mrolympiallc sure makes for a rough workout! But being reunited with the @reignbodyfuel crew makes it all worth it. 🫶

Martins Licis - 9.8K Likes - Back to my roots… It seems, I can never escape this job 🧹😢  

Sometimes I ask myself, did my prior janitorial duties play a roll in my ascent to Worlds Strongest Man? Will this maybe help me refine sumo techniques? Maybe we’ll never know. But the sweeping, must go on.

Martins Licis - 9.2K Likes - What a view; Osaka, Japan 🇯🇵! Getting in 605lb (275kg) deadlifts in (until a strap broke at least) 😆 This visit is one of the greatest adventures I’ve ever been on, and there’s still 1.5 more weeks to go! I’m going to cease every moment I can. Everywhere I’ve been to, from remote nature, small towns and big cities, there’s been an abundance of fairytale-like beauty. Shrines are serene and peaceful, and can be found just about anywhere… the gardens are meticulously cared for and seemingly assembled as if for a painting, and the cities have a textured and varied scenery that leaves no room for boredom. @barbellapparel @kazunori.hikida

Martins Licis - 8.9K Likes - No place like California for me. Absolutely love living here! Even more so, I’m loving how my body is feeling. I’m currently lifting 4x a week and hitting Jiu Jitsu 3x a week. My aim with lifting is speed and technique with no pain (a slow and steady approach)… and then using JJ to keep my conditioning and work capacity progressing. The way it’s been forcing me to use my hips in guard is unlike anything I can replicate in the gym, and my hips are feeling the best they have been in 5 years because of it. It’s exciting to try this new approach and to see where this journey will take me 👊

Strength is coming back like a storm! 🤞 Please keep going in this direction ya ol’ tugboat of wonders 💪 amongst squats and other secret heavy drills I’m doing for my events, things are coming along great. 385lb stone shoulder alternations for core strength, 920lb frame carry, and an 855lb eccentric to block pull deadlift. And all feeling fantastic. At this point, just gotta maintain and keep it pain free while eliminating weaknesses. Thank you @sbdapparel @sbd.usa for keeping me supported through these heavy sessions. Almost time for the battle of gravity, and I’m happy for it. And of course, I couldn’t be more grateful for the support of @jacobfinerty and @nadiastowers_bigstorm making the drive out here day after day to train together, thank you guys so much! 🫶

Martins Licis - 6.2K Likes - It’s time to pack on the muscle again!! What are your favorite @321podium products? My must haves are the peanut butter crunch protein and creatine 💪 Currently, the training is light, but will rapidly ramp up in the coming month to prepare for The Arnold Classic! … (sigh) still gotta sweep here and there, guys. Some things never change 😒 be sure to use promo code “Martins” when ordering yourselves Podium supplements 🤩

Martins Licis - 6.1K Likes - This is the best job I’ve ever had. There’s no doubt of that. Despite that, some days I dont want to clock in, but the march goes on anyways. The last show, @arnoldssports strongman classic definitely rocked me... and getting my headspace to be that of a warrior again is proving a worthy challenge. Yet, I will find that spark again to turn job into passion. It is my mission. - In the meantime, I’m increasing my frequency of physical therapy and working variants of motions that don’t aggravate this nasty sciatica, and breaking through fear to find my inner monster. 
—-
This workout was a bit of an adjustment from my original plan, as I have to find what works for my body. First, I did mechanical dropsets with front squats and back squats down onto a box height where sciatica felt good. After that, partial range split squats, Conan’s wheel holds for time, various isolation accessories and finally some light sandbag carries for 30sec max distance/ 30sec rests for 10minutes.

And thank you @roguefitness for sending us one of these beauties! … If this bar isn’t launched to lockout with speed, it gets brutally difficult QUICK! Therefore, it’s great for rehearsing powerful leg drive and deliberate lockouts 💪 If you don’t have a tsunami bar at home, you can emulate this with some bands and kettlebells attached to the ends of a bar. Good luck!

I’m happy with the speed! Not happy with the stumble... To progress further, I need to earn it by cleaning that up to perfection before increasing weight. 
5 months to Arnold’s and in a damn good place. Alternating between dumbbell, log and axle to have all bases covered. Slow and steady (except when I actually go in for the press) @sbdapparel #sbdapparel

Luckily, @sbdapparel always has my back (literally), allowing me to lift more, more often, and more intensely with a furious rage to win! 💪 There’s simply no lever belt out there that compares with the easy adjustability and sturdiness of SBD! Now made even better with their new slim design. Gotta give it a try! 👊😎 NOW TIME TO GET COMPETITION READY ONE AGAIN!

With more then ten thousand historic stones accounted for, many with ancient engravings denoting successful lifters of said stones, I am left wondering, just how extensive was their stone lifting culture? Why did such an intense passion for stone lifting fade? What other surprises does this country hold in strength history? Well, thanks to these shrines that still honor these precious stones, we can get a little glimpse back in time, to a Japan that made the earth quake with a zest for hoisting rock and mastering strength. Thank you so much for having us and allowing us to give these lifts a go!
