If you can do it, I can do it

What is the most manly task that someone could perform to show his strength? I didn't know either, but apparently in Garmisch one must pick up a 500+ lbs stone to show that he is tough man. I was expecting something else, like moving the stone or throwing, but nope, you stand on a podium and dead lift it. The person you lifts it the most centimeters receives a free beer, or that is what we heard. All sorts of men came out to lift the stone. There were different weight classes: heavy, middle, and light. A bodybuilder in the heavy weight class was able to lift it 95centimeters. Three of the guys from our table went up to try it. Two out of the three were able to lift in a few centimeters, but nothing more. At one point, two girls tried to go up and lift it together, but it didn't even budge. After a watching a few men try and lift the stone, it became boring and I left fest early to go watch a movie...
