atlas stones

[hma123]

I've been doing strongman for a little while now. I all the basics i need to train; tires,farmers,kegs,ropes,etc. But one thing i dont have is the atlas stones.
I dont know where to buy them, but im sure there HELLA EXSPENSIVE. So i dont even want a link to anywhere that sells them. I was wondering if theres anything i could use to subsitute a heavy atlas stone? Cnt think of anything, maybe a heavy sandbag laying on the ground, you could possibly simulate the movement of a real stone? If not, then does anyone know any other strongman exercise or any exercise for that matter that will do the same workout as the atlas stones?
Any help, greatly appreciated.

well.........to bad you dont want links because getting what you need to make them is very inexpensive...there is also an item that mimics stones with plates...........oh well

I will answer your question but for the record you didnt think much about it did you..........
anything that you have to pick up and lap then lift onto a platform is "stone" training...use a keg....use a rock.......yes a sandbag.............

I would search for some links if I were you causee nothing is like using an actual stone..NOTHING

thanks for some ideas.. if there inexspensive or so, any links then?..

EDIT: also anyone know anything i could do to replicate a hercules hold or fingal fingers??

thats a tough one......
heavy cable crossovers for the the herc hold and the best i can think of
for the fingers would be to find a big log in the forest or beach or something and work on cleaning it.....you probably wont be able to flip it like a finger but you can get the first half of the movement.
