[Site] "Kang Kang Kang..."
[Explanation] On the afternoon of August 5, Huang Baoquan, who lives in Qingyang District, Chengdu, Sichuan, put his feet into the holes under the stone lock handles, and then strode forward. Huang Baoquan created the method of wearing a pair of stone locks weighing 216 kg as "stone shoes" on his feet for exercise, and he called it "stone lock work".
[Explanation] The 60-year-old Huang Baoquan has used stone locks to exercise for 45 years. Over the years, he has broken more than 20 sets of stone locks. Now Huang Baoquan has several stone locks in his family. The lightest is 44 kg and the heaviest is 108 kg. They are made of hard stones he found from all over Sichuan and then made with a chisel and hammer. Every afternoon, he would use a small trailer to drag the stone lock out of the community for exercise. For a distance of more than 230 meters, he would take more than 40 minutes to complete.

Through my practice of this stone lock, my body is much better than before. I had undergone several surgeries in the past, and my health was not good, so I practiced the stone lock to keep my body healthy. To practice this, do push-ups. First, achieve your waist strength, exercise your back strength and hand strength, and then you dare to fix (play) this stone lock.
[Explanation] Because Huang Baoquan’s instep and lower legs rubbed against the stones for a long time, these parts of him were covered with calluses. In addition to exercising the strength of the lower limbs, Huang Baoquan also achieves a balanced exercise by throwing a 44 kg stone lock and practicing with iron sand. Although he wanted to pass the "Stone Lock Technique" to more people, Huang Baoquan was very cautious about accepting disciples. He said that because of his personal strength and long-term physical work, he has a foundation in this practice, so not everyone is suitable for practicing "Stone Lock".

Before, I have been involved in carrying, repairing tires, and engaging in greening. It consumes a lot of food, so I can eat and I have more energy. Two (stone shoes) add up to 216 jin, plus this 44 jin (stone lock) to shake, many (people) can't shake it, and they dare not pick it up, and the stone lock must be broken. If you can't do twenty or thirty push-ups in one breath, you must have insufficient waist strength. If the waist strength is not enough, you will naturally get hurt when you lift this stone waist.
[Explanation] In the eyes of Lu Huaimin, director of the Prevention and Treatment Center of Sichuan Orthopaedic Hospital, Huang Baoquan insisted on practicing "Stone Lock Gong" since he was a child. His body has adapted to this mode of exercise and has a certain exercise effect. But as his age increases and his athletic ability declines, the intensity of this exercise should gradually decrease. At the same time, any exercise method is different from person to person, so you can't imitate or try at will.

Any exercise has an exercise effect, but the effect of this exercise is more pros or cons. In our medical terms, this case is a resistance training, and (it is) the entire resistance (training) of the lower limbs. So it is a good resistance training for his hip muscles, knee muscles, and ankle muscles. It's the same thing as we do dumbbells and bench presses. This is not to be copied, if others imitate him, it may cause a lot of harm. If he hasn't exercised since he was a child, he will not adapt to this mode of movement, so obviously he is very vulnerable to a lot of injuries.
[Explanation] Huang Baoquan agreed with the expert's suggestions. He said that he will not practice until he is 70 years old. In the future, he will reduce the weight of the stone lock appropriately according to his physical condition.
