Suggestions or helpful tips on atlas stones

ad

My first ever strongman competition coming up in 60 days and I have been able to practice all the events but the atlas stones. Stones are going to weigh ruffly 250-300 pounds. Any suggestions on how to train for this event with no stones ?

I have a gym where I live that has stones so me and a friend practice a lot there; the problem is you have to search for gyms or backyard ones that carry them. I have not found an alternative unfortunately to help you there but we went as far as mortar bags and sacks filled with huge stones.

Google will be your friend; just do a search and or ask around at your gym; of course ask the bigger guys lol.

Also good luck and do not be intimidated; I am the smallest guy at the place where we do it; these guys are like fkn hulks compared to me and make it look like they are lifting bowling balls while I struggle to get them off the ground. I swear they are the size of me lol.
