Most would agree that the limiting factor in training for strongman is the equipment. Let's be honest... there is no substitute for a
log press, a
husafell stone, or an atlas stone...
Wait. Hold that thought.
Atlas stones: They're big. They're heavy. They are hard to transport unless you're a strongman. They aren't cheap and most are homemade, so your results, experiences, and success may vary. If only there was something that provided the same experience and variability for a fraction of the cost and effort.
Elitefts Coach Clint Darden demonstrates that atlas stone training DOES have a substitute with the
Elite Stone Trainer. How do you use this tool? Simple: load it up with bumper plates, slap the included Lock-Jaw collar on the end, and take your posterior chain to new heights of strength development.

Weights are changed as quick as you can change a bumper plate, and the limits of the
Elite Stone Trainer are endless.
