That 400 pound stone looks like the death star! May the force be with you!

Nothing says "manhood" more than lifting stones. Keep up the good work Brian, cant wait till part 2

3:49 Boondock Saints reference - this is why Brian is the best! You sir, are extremely motivational and entertaining. We all love you Brian!

[stevenkarbowski]

Was that a boondock saints quote at around 3:50 mark?! Haha
Great walk through as always. Simple and precise.

I first watched this video over 6 months ago... Since then I have digested all of you main lift videos and then some... All leading up to my first atlas Stone session... No personal trainer, no coach... Just content like yours... And boom... I just walked out of the gym successfully lifting a stone onto my shoulder and another over a bar. Thank you so much... If it wanst for you, I never would have started strongman training or gotten the results I have achieved in the main 3... God bless you. Respect from Australia

I started lifting stones about 6 weeks ago, and thanks to this video I hit a PB of 70kg today. I have watched a lot of stone lifting videos but this one is the best - thanks for the great explanations and advice. Enjoyed the little history bit at the start too :)

Put this into practice today on my second go at stones not heavy 30, 40, 50, 60kg but it works and I loved it

(Q&A vid q's) 1. Did you have a clientele before buying/establishing you're facility?
2. Did you get people to invest? or did you take out a small buisness loan? if so did you utilize any of your VA benefits? or perhaps through the small buisness administration? (sorry if these q's are too personal, I'm very adamant on owning my own facility one day and quite interested in your input)
Once you decided to open your own gym, did you continue on. what was, your current career path and slowly do the purchasing over time? or did you go all in at once?
thanks alot! I'm a huge fan

[chriszaferatos]

I just found you like a month ago and I gotta say you are by far one of the best YouTube channels out there. Such informative content!

[chelseythomas]

I really enjoyed learning about the history of the Atlas stone. Congrats on the PR! You are right. We need more rites of passage these days :)

[keving]

"The Rule of wrist" I love the Boondock Saints reference!

[MonsterBeastFitness]

I'm making a whole bunch of atlas stones come spring time (because I don't have a garage big enough to workout in so I gotta use the yard) can't wait! I think lifting stones is one of the manliest exercises you can do

[DonnyBaker]

I love the random movie references that you drop. That's exactly how my mind works.

[TheAwesomeviking]

Great and very to the point video. I notice that while never having lifted atlas stones before, the same technique seems to come natural when lifting other heavy hard to handle objects.

[adamlarson]

Well done! This is by far the best how to lift an atlas stone video I've seen. I've got some great tips on how to lift that 315 lb stone that's just being taking up space in my garage!

[johnmolteni]

You keep hitting it out of the park! If more strength information was presented in this digestible way, more people would be getting stronger. :)
