You might not expect it, but Ohio actually has a pretty strong and passionate stone lifting scene! While we don't have mountains loaded with natural challenges, the community here is really dedicated, and they make their own opportunities. As one person mentioned online, it's about connecting with what's available, even if that means digging stones out of your own backyard!

A huge highlight for stone lifting in Ohio is definitely the Ohio Stones of Strength competition, which happens at the Dublin Irish Festival every August. It's a big deal, featuring everything from stone throwing and pressing to Atlas Stones over a bar.
