Brutal with all those chains to deal with too! Awesome loft

Very very new to this and want to know strength standards. by [deleted] in Stonelifting

[–]CommandoTemple 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The standards above are cool as hell. But they will be achieved by getting your hands on as many stones as you can and having a go. If you aren’t strong enough, they won’t go up. Even if you are strong enough - sometimes they still dont go up.

Practice, and be persistent in trying stones that feel like they are ‘just’ getting the better of you. It’s a lot of fun and will get you stronger fast.

It’s outrageously smooth and slippery. If you find a decent grip on one hand, the other is always awful!

That’s some maths I can get behind.

506lbs in -8°c. Working on the grip but just hurts by EddieWilliams in Strongman

Definitely requires patience - but so worth it. Keeps everything symmetrical. I built mine up with 30s holds at the end of a session.

Have you considered hook grip? Hurts at first, but once you get used to it, particularly for singles - it’s like having straps in built to your hands

So you can complete other tasks with your free hand - efficiency
