Atlas Stones are a staple to strongman training. A well made Ayala stone is a great thing, I have used very good stones and some not so good stones. If you have the space the are definitely cool, I’m lucky hating use them on strongman Saturdays at the local strongman gym so I haven’t worried about fitting stones into my garage gym yet.
These are extremely light weight and not stable. Great if your using them for a curl bar stand but I would NOT recommend trying to squat or bench out of these unless your PR is a broom stick.
Owned briefly in 2025 for the garage gym.
I have had these fat gripz for about a decade and use them a few times a year. Nice to turn some of my basic cable attachments into fat handle attachments. And toss them on dumbbells for some variation.
I have aquires a few pairs of these over the last decade and always ended up selling them off. They just don’t offer any real functionality in my gym. I did use a pair once to store my curl bar but that was short lived. If I didn’t already have an awesome chalk bowl I’d consider making one out of these and a stainless mixing bowl.
