Me about to blow the 275# attempt

Atlas Stone Form

Ya!.. my newest project.. just made the form tonight from a 52' ball.. should come in at around 200# Want to try that one before I make a 'heavy' one

nice bungee cord set up

what are you going to use to place the atlas stone up on? are you gonna get a big barrel like B folds?

also, how long does it take to set(that atlas stone mold)?



for yourbench, i dont know if you doing it, but tuck your shoulder blades together. it will shorten your bench stroke.

Thanks D.. I think my bench form is terrible and harder for me to fix.. it is my weakest lift...

Anyway, I'm not sure about the atlas stone yet.. Haven't gotten a barrel.. was thinking about doing lifts to shoulder with the 'lighter stone' until I can scavange a barrel and tire

The form was made from plaster of paris it only took 2 hours to harden enough from me to deflate the ball and take it out.. I will wait until tomorrow night to put the cement in to make sure it is dry.. will post more pics of course ...

* pic of the atlas stone form filled with cement! just checked it this morning and the form is hot to the touch from the cemet chemical reaction! Can't wait for it to set in 3-4 days to break the form to check out my work!

nice box squat form. just make sure your flaring your knees out.

Its amazing how much your formed has gotten better from 2-3 weeks ago.

That atlas stone looks sweet.

::tear:: its..beautiful. Do you think 175 is going to be too heavy as your first stone? or is it just the right size?

 

[CrimsonKing]

thanks D.. yes. I think its a good size for my first 'stone'.. Can't wait to incorporate it into my training and take some fun pics!
