Jack Shanks

Jack Shanks (born 1936) is a former strongman from Belfast, Northern Ireland. He is best known for natural stone lifting.

Dinnie Stones Shanks is the first man to lift the Scottish Dinnie Stones of Aberdeenshire, unassisted after Donald Dinnie did so in 1860. He achieved this feat (which is also known as putting the wind under the stones) five times in the summer of 1972. A large group of spectators and press were gathered to witness the event. The feat was performed on the top of a flatbed lorry for the crowd to have a better viewing experience.

The leather lifting belt and tank top Shanks wore during the feats are now in display at the H.J. Lutcher Stark Center for Physical Culture and Sports.
