Yes, it is beneficial for you as the grip required works a whole new set of different muscles than it does with other weights. For example, a barbell or kettlebell clean is where the weight just hangs, all you need to do is hold on to it. When lifting a rock, you need to squeeze it as well so that you do not lose your grip. The grip is usually a lot wider, so you are working your grip/hand muscles differently. You need to be able to let the rock fall and move away from it without breaking or damaging anything around you, including yourself. The exercises performed with the rock are as follows. Clean And Press Clean the weight up from the ground into a racking position and then press without movement from the lower body. Clean And Squat Clean the weight up from the ground into a racking position and then squat as low as you can go, whether that is a quarter, half, or full squat, it’s all good as long as it’s done with good form and technique. The weight of the rock should be about 25 to 30kg (66lbs) but you should adjust it to suit your strength level.

Hinge your torso forward, get your hands under the base of a heavy rock, and brace your core. Deadlift it to your thighs, then squat and let the rock settle on them. Roll it up your torso to your shoulder, then shift your hands’ position one at a time until both are beneath it, and press it overhead.
Hinge your torso forward and place your hands under a rock. Tighten your core. Pull the rock toward your chest, squeezing your shoulder blades.
Get your arms under a medium log, holding it in the crooks of your elbows. Stand with your feet shoulder width apart. Keeping your elbows and chest up, core tight, bend at the knees and hips, lowering your torso until your thighs are parallel to the ground.
Stand beside a heavy dislodged tree stump. Squat down beside it and get your hands underneath it. Brace your core. Push the stump up and away from your body, using the leverage from your legs to flip it.
Get on all fours in the sand, core tight, hands shoulder width apart. Hop your feet forward, just outside your hands, keeping your butt low. Move your hands forward, extending your legs as you do so.
A note on reps: As a rule, keep heavy lifts to 3 to 5 reps and medium ones to 8 to 10.
