Stones – Training Tip
For all coaches and athletes:
Here is a stone training tip guaranteed to help your athletes transition from conventional training means to non-conventional / strongman training.
You will find your athletes who have been trained primarily trained in deadlifts only, have a hard time stabilizing and adjusting to implements that are not fixed, rigid or lifted in close proximity to their own center of gravity.
In this example, we are talking about lifting atlas stones.
Nine times out of ten, their lower back strength is the culprit when trying to elevate the stone off the ground.
The solution? Shorten the range of motion. I just finished a workout with one of my wrestlers who couldn’t budge the 160 stone off the ground (at 155 lbs bw), but he can deadlift a lot more than that.
So I lifted the stone on top of one of my tractor tires and had him perform hip extensions for sets of 6-8. This not only conditions his hips and lower back for this position, but also his biceps.
As he becomes more proficient at the movement, you will lower the platform the stone is resting on, until he is performing the full range movement off the ground.
If you don’t have a tire, have your athletes work with the stones off a bench, a chair or a platform.
Keep training, good luck.

Hey I know this is off topic but I was wondering if you
knew of any widgets I could add to my blog that automatically tweet my newest twitter updates.
I’ve been looking for a plug-in like this for quite some time and was hoping maybe you would
have some experience with something like this.
Please let me know if you run into anything. I truly enjoy reading your
blog and I look forward to your new updates.

I used to be able to find good info from your content.

I have been browsing online more than 4 hours today,
yet I never found any interesting article like yours.
It’s pretty worth enough for me. In my view, if all website owners and bloggers made good content as you
did, the internet will be a lot more useful than ever before.
