hey guys i'm tom stokerman i'm here with
0:01
my protein i'm the world's strongest man
0:03
and i'm here to discuss my five favorite
0:06
and best at the stone techniques
0:13
so number one for me before even
0:15
touching out the stone
0:16
you should get yourself prepped by
0:19
being able to kind of focus on the
0:21
biggest muscles that are the stone uses
0:23
it's a whole body exercises but
0:24
hamstrings lower back
0:27
are the two most important muscles you
0:29
need to to get yourself onto those atlas
0:34
the best exercise is a stiff leg
0:36
so obviously it's like a deadlift but
0:38
you keep your legs a bit more straight
0:40
and pull the bar right up to you and
0:43
repeat that process so work on that
0:45
number two for me is load bridges or
0:48
back extensions those two again are very
0:50
very very good exercises to also build
0:54
that kind of foundation to get you onto
0:55
the atlas stones and then tip number
0:59
for me when you're going on top of
1:00
stones as well is really really really
1:03
really concentrate on not bending your
1:06
arms when you're lifting your stones off
1:07
the ground a lot of people tend to lift
1:11
with their biceps uh bent out instead of
1:14
their arms straight so really really
1:15
focus squeezing your arms straight and
1:17
get up to your lap tip number four for
1:21
when you're doing up the stones as well
1:22
use all the protection you can so if
1:25
you've got tacky available put tacky on
1:28
if you've got stone sleeves do what you
1:29
can to make the stone stone lift easier
1:32
so for me i use taki and it gives you
1:35
less you don't need to squeeze as hard
1:37
you don't need to think about the
1:38
process of the stone list and then
1:40
number five for me is uh
1:42
of course so what for me for the last
1:44
bit of the stone is what you want to do
1:45
is when you get your stone onto your
1:47
you really want to over extend your hips
1:49
and really practice that full extension
1:51
on that on another stone that really
1:53
just gets you used to
1:55
building yourself up for rolling onto a
1:57
platform for um putting over a bar and
2:00
just to get you used to that kind of
2:02
height and again for that that's where
2:03
the back extensions and the
2:07
stiff like deadlifts come in so again
2:09
you just have to squeeze
2:10
you then change your grip and squeeze
2:12
the stone as tight as you can and you
2:14
use your hips to flick over so guys
2:16
that's my five top tips for other stones
