I dont even want to make an Atlas Stone, but this shit is interesting!
exactly! haha
Same and im your 70th liker
Well shit...now I DO want to make an Atlas stone!
Nobody cares what a short guy thinks
Sacramento locc!
I swear there is just something extremely enticing about having a heavy ass ball you can roll around
Amen!
Something about it being made out of concrete too. I don't know I just want to slap it. It's so perfect.
Or just watch lying there, to heavy to even bother touching.
Michel Schweinsberg Right! A good slap on the ass and the good ol’ pick up/put down!
@@MediQate exactly its just the manly thing to do
Those logs are gorgeous
Really gorgeous
secure an orbital sander on the side with a ratchet strap, turn it on and it will vibrate all the air out of it.

Or just do what he did.. Its an atlas ball not a rocket lol.
Or use a self compacting concrete mix design a lot stronger without air bubles
My man
@@aaronespinoza5806 sure dude, if you want a bunch of air pockets in it weakening it.
Kinda disappointed it's just concrete, but I guess it makes sense. I was hoping for something like cutting/grinding/polishing a rough boulder into an atlas stone.
Right? That would definately be a bit more riveting.
Yea but they make like 8 for the competitions going from small to large so imagine finding stones big enough and transporting it and then cutting it down and then sanding it round each one would take a week and would be very hard to make and hard to make consistent weights. Vs this they use the same molds making a consistent stone
Dante Howlstice that would be really hard
@@char9550 What type of rock would give you the proper weight? For instance, Indiana limestone is very workable and was used to cover most of the buildings in Washington, D.C., (including the Washington and Lincoln Monuments) and many of the skyscrapers in New York due to its white appearance -- cheaper than white marble.
Do you want him to paint his nails and wear heals for you as well darling ?
it's a video longer than 30 second. Good job!
Hello from north wales,uk. I'm not into sports etc and this video randomly came up in my feed.
Just to say it was Interesting. Tempted to import the moulds from you to make the Atlas stones as ornaments for the garden. Thankyou again.
Awesome 👌👌👌. Loved seeing this process!
Very interesting!!! Thanks for sharing...well explained!
I need to make one, thank you for the video!
Fantastic video Steve.
After Taco bell: 4:35
Good god
@@caedmoncarter1507 "You almost got the cheese touch"
I didn't even have to look and i knew what part of the video that was lolol
This was super informative. Thank you.
I ate ramen for 3 months straight in college. I passed an atlas stone that felt like a world record.
Great video, I may have to give this a go!
No idea why i'm watching this but.. very nice video
+1
i found this so entertaining great vid thx rouge
Definitely going to attempt to make one.
Great video, thanks.
Watching non construction worker types handling construction materials is really funny. Even this big strong looking dude acts kinda dainty when working with concrete.
It's UA-cam...but I say they should have rolled ones the size you could make from a cement mixing truck all around Florida to pre-identify sinkholes
It's been 4 years and I bet Steve would still walk all over you
really well made tutorial video
Very informative. I am wondering if this could also be used to make the head of an Indian Mace....
Very interesting!
me want! Best howto Video ever. Thanks.
Man this is cool. Im gonna sub.
Solid Information.
Nice work
I bought two molds for my home gym. Eagerly waiting for them to come in so I can start!!!
where 1 or kmake ke to can u buy them i would like to make 1 or 2
Awsome video!
Make sure to save a little concert after it settles a bit or it will compact and leave a gap at the open end of the mold. So pour a little in after it settles.
Very Good Information,Sir
Thanks for this video! :D
Awesome !!!
I found this to be an interesting video thanks
very satisfying
Could I make a 2” wide Atlas Stone 🤔
What are or what is the name of the fibers he added to the concrete?? and where to get them, it would it be nice a recommended list of materials in the video description
do you have one for making the log press at the start behind you?
are they normally painted or coated with something after they dry?
Lovely
Do you spray it or coat it with anything once it’s dried?
This is the guide for dudes who don't know anything about anything.
A guide for males who don't know man stuff*
@K. C.W wow yall are cringeworthy
@K. C.W HA amatuer looking at the instructions on the bag, by the age of 3 I was making my own cement mixtures using nothing but my testosterone and the ingredients which I scavenged for myself.
Everyone's gotta start somewhere my dudes.
And these are the guys that think they know everyth9ng but won't teach anyone anything 🖕🏻
This guy is an American Badass! Awesome vid - thank you.
ptrainingbytim he's from Ohio
Are these light post globes? They use as a mold.
i want one 2 sets hybrid stone molds how much cost
You should invest and a proper concrete poker to remove all the air. A denser concrete mix for minimal effort. Really informative video
why not use a small paint mixing bit on a drill.
For heavier stones that are the same size. Do they ad a heavier core, like a shot put? it would be interesting to see how that works and what they use.
It's just concrete. Concrete is heavy enough and even 1 more inch in diameter of a sphere is a lot of volume
Yeah usually some sort of shot in the center for heavier stones, and something like styrofoam if you want it to be lighter, but still the bigger diameter.
@@eshteluvetuluetpineapples4104 not all stones are just concrete
looks like making an ice cream cake. well done!
Can the mold be modified to cast lead?
I met him at the world's strongest man competition super nice cool guy
plz tel spray name which u use
How long to wait til its ready to use? Concrete generally takes 28 days to fully cure. Can I use it sooner..?
John K. Fedoroff I would imagine you should just wait the 28 days or however long it’s recommended for that specific concrete
How.do you stop if from cracking when dropping if do you coat it in anything
That's what the fibers are for
Should be using a stick/rod and jam it in up and down to settle it out and get the air out of the mix. Works better than patting the sides of the globe to get the center more solid
I like how you use the fault as a feature.
How long do they typically take to settle / dry to a point where they’re usable?
From what I’ve gathered and will try, 3 Days in the mold, 3 days out, touch up, wait 1-3 more days, seal it, one more day then test it.
I have an aunt who used to run a concrete yard ornament business amd to get air bubbles out and to settle the concrete in the molds she'd use a palm sander with no sand paper on it
I want to see a 30 min video of how you make the logs. Ive made a few myself but I would like to see a professional video with the tools you use. Other youtube videos about them are pretty simple and doesnt show the details or how to cut out room for the handles and how to attach them.
Thank you.
How do they get the different weights of the stones? Some are super heavy but the same size.
Commando Master they aren't all the same size they just look very similar because the weight is all evenly distributed throught the stone, so it would be hard to tell that one is bigger unless side by side, and they also add things like metal inside the stones sometimes to make them heavier
It is common to fill the center of some stones with different size Styrofoam balls. This takes up space and changes the weight of the stone.
Or the opposite, and add something like steel or lead weights instead of Styrofoam
How we can get that mold?
tell me white think which u add after mixing cement
Fibre
I'll be making a 21in video since I can't find a single video on it and I'll be making a video with how to prep a mold after you have used one since all outlets failed to show that area too. Stay tuned.
Your confusing cement with concrete . . .
It was a concrete bag just not very coarse.
👍 👍
you can see gravel in the mix that he doesn't tell you to put in ?
Concrete is basically gravel cement and water
FYI, that mix looks WAY too wet. The wetter your mix, weaker your cured concrete will be
But the better it will mold
@@grottphd9090 Yeah, but you're talking about an atlas stone that's gonna be dropped all the time. It's gonna fall apart. You could've gotten a good mold with a way dryer mix than he used.
Should have settled it by probing with a stick too not just rotated and patted the sides of the mold. this isn't art class it's making a damn lifting implement. Dude clearly hasn't done any actual concrete work lol
@@jblob5764 Thank you! I wouldn't be surprised if this thing shattered the first time it's dropped. I just feel bad for all the people that copy this video.
You guys are idiots. This dude owns Slater's hardware store and makes stones for the WSM and Arnold's. He knows way more about atlas stones then you jerkoffs
I want to make one but I dont want to lift it...
TOASTERS ARE AMAZING
Safety first!
'You don't want to get wet concrete on your skin' he says before having the insides of both his forearms covered in wet concrete XD
+De Clan its not really dangerous it just feels kinda weird so no harm done.
bruh google pictures concrete burn then say again its not dangerous lol
ExeKuTioN Cro I cannot tell you how many times I've had wet concrete dry onto my skin. Never once had a concrete burn
You can make kettlebells out of them too ;)
7:28 The white hand of Saruman
Im a simple man.I just wanna roll around a heavy ball.
So this is where my gym teacher went
4:40 after eating Taco Bell
You look like the scientist that came up with the holographic principle, Leonard susskind
A common bag would do to mix the concrete
That’s the first time in 2 years, I’ve seen that mask used for a purpose that makes sense.
Great video. See tough guys, smiling and being friendly is possible and won't kill you!
Not sure why I'd ever want one of these....but cool video anyways!
do you even lift ? lol how did you end up on this video
+David F well he could lift but maybe not strongman exercises most people dont do these unless they're training for a competition. i lift myself but would never use this XD seems like hell to use but cool as hell that someone could
Get a stone from the basque country...please ;)
AUS ?
What a watery mix...
Just taaaapp it in 😂🤣
El debe ser el primo gringo del tío Balta Jajaja
step 4 - put one leg into the mold .
repeat for the other leg.
is that a Latvian flag behind him?
Honestly the mold is an investment buy it and make alot and sell it
What happens if I breath concrete dust
It's basically like smoking
😳😳😳😳
What is an Atlas Stone?
It's a stone for strongman lifts.
Imagine an atlas stone going downhill when you take it out of the mold Haha
Sisyphus
Not even going to advise people to put a finishing coat on their atlas stone? Even when you clearly have a properly finished stone right behind you?
He already has a video on how to finish a stone
Cement burns? What are you putting in it?
Tihomir Kokot the alkalinity causes the burn but I've seen anything serious just dry hands.
How to make a concrete ball, first get concrete and a mold
Cuesta 3000 y algo el molde 😭
I thought these had lead cores
Some do have metals cores added or even styrofoam to vary weight without changing diameter.
take a shot every time this nigga says “ concrete “
Voice Crack at 8:16
wow you got some issues
