Nothing happened except a change in Murakami’s training philosophy. If he couldn’t lift anything outside the gym, was gym training really working. He wanted farm-boy strength, and that was best achieved through unconventional means. Rocks were used as training tools by Chinese weightlifters as far back as the 1300s. Every single one is a complex riddle that requires a different solution. The weight is a mystery. The right grip must be found and the weight distribution adjusted for in real time. Every rock is an opportunity. These six moves from Murakami involving rocks, trees, and sand will help you see those opportunities, too.
