FitnessTracker is a local-first, privacy-focused fitness application that helps you measure progress, track workouts, and stay consistent — all without subscriptions, logins, or tracking. This page covers how to perform the atlas stone trainer, including tips, variations, and the muscle groups it targets.
If you do not have access to traditional stones, this tool replicates the grip, posture, and loading mechanics of stone lifting. It trains your hips, grip, and back like few other lifts.
Instructions
- Place the atlas stone trainer (or pipe implement) on the floor between your feet.
- Hinge at your hips and wrap your arms around the implement, gripping tightly.
- Drive through your legs to lift the implement past the knees and rest it on your thighs.
- From this "lapped" position, hug the object to your chest and extend through the hips to stand tall.
