Stone Ball Curls

“Crushing strength” is a very specific term we use here at Atomic Athletic.  Imagine you are a wrestler that has decided that you WILL crush your opponents skull with the palms of your hands.

  

Crushing strength combines the following muscle and tendon groups: grip, forearms, biceps, front delts and pectorals.

  

The very best tool to work your crushing strength is a honed granite ball.  We just got several 50 pounders in stock and they are a blast.

 

Here are the 3 exercises I recommend, in combination, to build your crushing strength with a granite ball.  Realize that the best results will come from the HONED balls.  They are as smooth as an unknurled piece of Olympic bar stock.  They must be used synergistically and with total focus.

 

Stone Ball Lifts

Clean & Press

Cheat Curl

Bent Over Row

Each of these three exercises must be performed with only the hands touching the ball, on the left and right side.  You can't pull the ball in tight to the stomach or use the forearms.  This will necessitate a lighter ball than you might ordinarily use for your stone lifting.  That is because you are training, not working a one rep max.

These athletes will seriously benefit from these basic exercises: Martial artists, wrestlers, football players, MMA fighters, lifters, body builders and anyone competing in strongman contests.

If you want one of these three unusual pieces, they are NOT on the web site.  You must call us at (419)352-5100.  They are $220/each and only come in dark blue gray granite.

Live strong,
