"So... Always buy the amount that you're buying." - Alan Thrall. California, 2016
Ha! I was hoping nobody noticed that.
+Alan Thrall (Untamed Strength) Oh I noticed, Alan.
I don't do strongman training (not yet maybe) but this was great to watch. I like the diversity of content on channel from the lifting tips, to the food stuff, to the DYS stuff.
Keep at it.
+PermanentHigh Really? he came up with a great video and that is what caught your attention? gtfo man
It sounds worse when you take it out from his clarification just before that like you did.
+JoshMetal316 it's called a sense of humor
I'm never gonna make an atlas stone. But watching you do labor with that country music in the background is somehow soothing.
venktesh rao lmaooo me neither but idk why l just watched the whole video with no problem lol
What the matter with country music
Watch homesteadermvideos they provide similar stress relief. Its videos of them feedingnchickens ect with country music in background
I'm gonna make one but not 365 I couldn't lift that in my dreams
@@madbear3512 How about Western?
Training with your own home-made atlas stone is probably the manliest thing there is
Caetano Sauer true hahaha
ROFL its gotta be the most dumbass thing Ive seen in my 30 years of training. They should just go get a job at a logging camp and pick up logs and tree stumps. At least this well put money in the pocket.
@@bbrockRailFan ha, said the guy who wastes money on model train collection.
@@vintner_ you ended his career
Apex Nate What career?
Something for you try next time if you're interested. Use rubber tires instead of the blue buckets to hold the molds. Once they're full you can stand on the tires with your feet on either side of the mold and bounce/rock all the air pockets out of the concrete so it settles out nicely. Makes for beautifully smooth finish and super strong stone. Great video Al!
Thanks for the suggestion. I've used tire before but the 365 lbs of concrete collapses the tire. Stronger tire I suppose
+Alan Thrall (Untamed Strength) ..easiest way is to build a wooden frame for the molds, nothing fancy just to stabilize the mold.Put some cloth or old bed foam in the bottom corners against rolling and done...re usable and cheap.
+Samplelord buckets seem pretty easy
Marcus Sullivan but not stable enough if you are going to leave them outside to dry...in my opinion.I also prefer to work as close to the ground as possible, to prevent any tipping...again just my opinion.
Samplelord
cool. seemed to work fine here.
I just sat for 40min watching a man make two cement balls.
I put it on double speed
I did to....and i dont want 1 or 1000 Atlas stones.....
I just se the "beard swing" in the beginning and it look so funny!!
This is not Einsteins grandchild...... thats a fact!
yep, no interest in making or lifting one of these...what am i doing with my life!
Im never doing one of these but its so entertaining to watch lol
Yep and you liked every second of it lol
Alan: "You can use a rubber mallet, I'll grab mine in a minute"
Also Alan: (proceeds to slap molds like a used car salesman)
*slaps roof of stone mold* this bad boy can fit so many air bubbles in it
33:00 "You should probably use gloves when you do this..."
*_grabs the cement with bare hands like an animal_*
Dude spends a whole day & waits 2 weeks... to make 2 heavy ass rocks... so he can lift them off the ground.
That's hardcore lol
Moving day is gonna be a bitch though!
If he hires professionals they can strap them to a handtruck. Not a big deal.
Dude you can just mix the cement in the floor, here in Mexico we do it that way. Also probably a butterfly screw could secure the hybrid mold better, and they are reusable. You can pop out the air bubbles better if you hit the mold with a rubber hammer. I just wanna share those thoughts because your videos helped me a lot.
Because Mexico is the pinnacle of quality manufacturing....
@Erick Rosa You're delusional. That's like saying China makes some of the highest quality products. They don't.
@@Sisteelin It has nothing to do with countries. An expert is an expert is an expert, regardless of if he's from Mexico, China, Mars. Case in point, a novice manufacturer from Peru is still a better manufacturer than you are. An expert manufacturer from Mexico is better than a novice manufacturer in the U.S.
@@hamidchoudhary1512 There are no expert manufacturers from Mexico or Peru.
Sisteelin people will save a lot of money by doing what this kid said, and why does it matter so much if the stone people decide to make on their own is perfect or not
Wisdom: Fill mold while it's in a shopping cart and wheel it around on blacktop to vibrate the bubbles out.
Smart people teach me things.
I love your untamed passion for duct tape
TAPE UNTAAAMED
Tape is a beutyful thing
is it important to wipe the mold with your t-shirt, or can a cloth be used?
No Yes
😂
Yes it's important
You can use your tongue
@@AS-ug2vq no. His tongue is reserved for windows
@7:07 The marks are there for mating up the two halves as precisely as possible. They manufacture them as a complete sphere and hand cut them in a jig. If you look at the two raw edges of the halves you can see the slight variations. I still think the Slater makes a better seem "out of the box" but in the end it's just concrete. I like your video and your pup.
This is by far one of the most comprehensive video tutorials ive seen in a long time.
Thanks for the unique content man
real men carve their own atlas stones with a hammer a chisel from granite.
@aghrab10 real men holds the Earth like the real Atlas did
@aghrab10 PMSL 😂🤣🤣🤣😎👍🏻🇬🇧
Do you have any idea how long that video would be!?
This dude is building his own tiny Death Stars.
What one or one of each or 2 of one
@@madbear3512 ua-cam.com/video/VTUrdizRZyw/v-deo.html :)
Sorry, dude, I paid more attention to your dogs than I did you, so I'll have to watch again.
36 minutes later:
Damn! I did it again. I love the dogs, man.
How do I put strength fibers into my muscles?
Also, cameraman didn't lift the stone.
Just mix in fiberglass
I think thats what steroids is for lol
This confirms it. Alan could cut a football field with a scissor and I'd still watch it before anything else on youtube if the notification popped up.
Your dogs are adorable. I love this channel.
This even ain't a video about cooking, but somehow I'm still enjoying to watching it from the very beginning until finish.
Nice HD tho.
Awesome vid, I had no idea how long it takes to make an atlas stone. Thanks for bringing us unique content :)
This would be a good situation for renting a pencil vibrator (typically used for consolidating grout in masonry walls). That would be more than adequate for getting the air pockets out of a stone and give a very good consistency and reduce honeycombing issues.
Definitely the right tool for the job. The only thing to be careful of is not over-vibrating. Many a masonry projects have been ruined by vibrating too much. Those devices are incredibly efficient and do the job quickly. It's not incredibly difficult stuff to learn though.
I came here for this comment
Or design a self compacting concrete mix
duct tape the inside of the hybrid mold at the diameter next time to make it cement tight.
Watching this made me miss doing concrete work. A piece of wood would probably be a great help to eliminate voids, just jab it around to help settle the concrete as you fill the mold.
Jason Lynch thats was i was thinking u enjoyed concerete i hated it
Duct tape around the middle of the hybrid mold?
on the inside...genius
I think it would seal a hell of a lot better if you use nuts and bolts instead of zip ties for the hybrid mold
always buy the emount you are buying. yes
I always buy more than the amount I'm buying... space-time fabric broken
Will do
You could also add a finishing step. Sealing. Sealing the concrete helps preserve it. Keeps it from getting ashy and rough over time and also gives it that wet look.
What kind of sealer would you use ?
Alan, can you make a review of your stones years after you made it so we can see witch mold is the best?
Supplies needed to make an Altas Stoned:
A dude named Atlas.
A ton a pot.
+sghost128 How about stoned in the biblical sense?
bistro4 I thought about that as well, but it seemed less amusing.
Does he really need a ton of pot? Seems excessive.
WeedAK I don't know man. It is Atlas. He holds up the fucking world.
If he can get stoned off one joint, then maybe he should find a different job.
+bistro4 the burning bush was a thing.
One corner at a time...on a spherical stone
He said quarter
Use clamps on the first mould where there are gaps
That's like 12 clamps
Alan, you can get concrete that already has the fiberglass in the mix. Also, people should wear a respirator or a good filter mask when dealing with dry concrete. Thanks for the vid!
You should audition to be on Vikings
Or Game of Thrones.
Not games of thrones can't last season all ready made
Petition for Alan to shave the sides and braid his Mohawk
@@jabberwock14 He needs to shave his head get some tatts on his dome so he can look like our man Floki.
I bet some of you got a motorized "back massager".
I have one, yeah. It's pink and has this odd round tip on it for some reason though.
One of the best fitness channels on youtube, thanks Alan, greetings from Poland!
this channel is the most informative I've come across. keep up the good work Alan
The hybrid stone would work if you used big washers and some nuts and bolts .instead of zip ties ..
The instructions say to use zip ties, you can't expect people to know the instructions are wrong and to use something else. I'm not even sure if you can fit bolts in the holes for the zip ties.
And/or drill more holes
@@zakutheferret8182 Every once in a while, we'll run into instructions that are inadequate. After seeing this, if I were making a hybrid stone, I'd put a bead of silicone or polyurethane between the halves. It'd be harder, but not impossible to seperate, but having a smooth stone would be worth it.
Exactly what I was gonna say. There are bolts that will fit basically any size holes and if not like dude said you could drill to make em bigger.
Or you could spend 1/10th of the amount of tape you spent on the second stone by reaching in the hole and sealing the cracks on the inside.
You duct taped the crap out of the Slater Stone mold, why wouldn't you duct tape around the seam of the Hybrid Stone? That would keep it from leaking out concrete and water.
i love this video. so many sub optimal solutions or mistakes along the way but each one is a lesson that flawless execution would have demonstrated way less effectively.
Wear a mask when grinding concrete Alan, take care of your lungs
1. this post is two years old
2. stfu you safety nazi, all you do is look for opportunities to criticize people
@@snoops7942 Dude isnt being a 'safety nazi'... grinding concrete and making dust inside your garage while not wearing a respirator is just a bad idea bro. Go ahead and try it yourself.
@@snoops7942 just stfu snowflake
@@snoops7942 looking out for people is now being a nazi? Strange boy
Snoops considering that you can get third degree chemical burns from concrete, and the dust will cure in your lungs and cause said burns, it’s not a safety nazi thing
They look like mini moons. Great video.
William Turner That’s no moon.....
Never mind. I’m old.
Pro tip for the hybrid stone molds, zip tie all the holes to align the mold, then drill more holes in-between the existing ones to create a tighter bond. That is if you don't have the money for slater molds. Cause a 12" slater mold is 120 dollars after shipping. A 12" eBay mold (which works well) is 85 after tax and shipping.

Or starkiller base
I was able to make atlas stones using hybrid molds without the equator ring. It's a little time consuming, but I used a bolt, two washers and a nut at each hole instead of using zip ties. Then, after filling the mold with cement I cleaned the lip and sealed it with gorilla tape. I've made three stones his way with great results. Cheers!
@28:28 The nub at the top. When the concrete is still green (not fully cured after de-molding) take a brick or a large flat stone and rub it off like sanding a piece of wood. Much easier than waiting until fully cured. The same can be done on protruding seams. Also you can remove the mold after 24 hours. I wait 48 myself just because I feel like it..
Another great video. Simple, informative, effective. Appreciate your channel!
Hey Alan,
got an idea: What if you simply tape the Rouge one from the inside and add THEN the silicone spray? If that works you`ll have no cement dripping out auf the gap - even no water.
Best regards from Germany
Great Videos, love the comparisons you share with your experiences.
What also works good for vibration is just getting a piece of 2x4 or a stick and ram it in and out of the hole while you're pouring it. Best thing would be to have a concrete vibrator but not everyone has one of those lying around. Similarly to making the mix too wet, you have to be careful with a concrete vibrator because it will shake the stones to the bottom of the mold.
"Today I'm making a 365 pound stone"
*Struggles to tear duct tape
thanks for the great video. I'm gonna be making some stones later in the year. keep the great content coming.
Awesome video Alan! makes me want to make an Atlas stone.
Love the dogs too. Pretty funny, the week breaks I swear that pitt pup grew a few pounds in each one.
Sweet, nice work. cool lil pb pup cruising around as well haha
I have now made 6 Atlas Stones, using the hybrids.
My first 2 failed. The next 4 have been really good.
This is what I did with those 4.
After spraying don’t join the 2 halves.
Fill the bottom half almost to the top, so much easier to fill.
Then join them.
I use butterfly screws and then duct tape to make a tight fit.
I consequently have no seepage.
I now always use the strengthening fibres, they work.
Use a rubber mallet and take along time to beat out the air bubbles.
Then I definitely do not leave them for a week. I did this once and it took another week to get them out!
Once they are made leave it for at least a couple of weeks before using, longer if you can afford the time.
And finally do not drop the on the ground. My rugby club are using them and even dropped on grass they will break.
We now using an old pub barrel mat and or old tackle shields.
Once made and used they are fantastic. Especially for the functional strength needed for rugby.
They make for great competition between the guys and drive up standards.
Going to make to lighter ones for the women’s teams today.
I'm sort of a concrete guy and I never thought of using silicone spay as form release, thanks for the tip. If I dont have release oil, I usually use vegetable oil but its pretty runny. The hybrid stone would of held together better with washers nuts and bolts.
Crack-Resistant Quikrete (orange bag) has the fiberglass fibers already mixed in. Another option to try.
I need to get myself one of these tones lol
+Mario Tomic Misspell the word stones much AHAHAHA
+LurkinPT I wanna get toned bro :)
Very cool! Good job lifting the stones too!
I have both molds from 10 years ago . Slaters and Rob's and all my 9 stones still in great shape
thats an awesome puppy you got! very beautiful!
not to sound dramatic but I would literally die for these dogs
This was very interesting to watch. Thank you Alan :)
Awesome, awesome video! Thanks! I've been thinking about making a couple of atlas stones. I think the decision has been made!
Omg look how small she is!! Cutest puppy!!!
A week in the mold ? Wow! I made some once with the hybrid type mood but I took them out after 24 hrs. Then I let them sit for about 1-2 weeks and sprayed them with the hose regularly. They ended up being super strong.
I learned something new today. Thanks!
You run a piece of wide masking tape on the inside of the seam of the hybrid mold. Not Duct tape, you want thinner tape so it leaves less ridges on the finished stone.
I would put duct tape inside the hybrid mold and then spray it with silicone spray, you can prob. rent a concrete vibrator from the same place you rent cement mixer if you don't wanna do the wheelborrow way. If you have a vibrator you could just dig a small hole on your backyard to place the mold and after it has cured you could just roll it out and get mold off.
Alan, you said don't give me any thing about not wearing gloves. Just google cement burn images. Serious stuff...... wet or dry it's poison on your skin.
I wish id read your comment before leaving mine. lol
I know this video is very old, but coming from someone in the trades, mixing concrete with a garden hoe is way more easy than with a shovel in a wheel barrow
This is some badass stuff here.

nice tips on creating the stones they look perfect after your touch ups
You might look into getting the High Strength Crack Resistant Concrete since it already has the fiberglass fiber in it and is a 5000lb mix, instead of the 5000lb High Strength Concrete. It should also be available at Lowes.
Foam core is likely employed to initially cast the atlas stone under weight and then when cured to have a centralized void space to pour in more concrete to bring up to exact weight. Rotation during setup would distribute evenly. Strong man contest surplus? Wooden skewers hold foam sphere in place to prevent it floating to surface of pour. Foam core must be centralized to ensure weight is equally distributed about center and will lift predicable and less likely to roll on floor. You don’t want to drop that puppy on your toe. Final weight = 4/3 Pi R cubed X Density of cured concrete - 4/3 Pi x r x r x density of foam. Sticks inside foam increase weight of foam ball slightly. They may intentionally cast the stone slightly under weight with a tube from top going into core or they drill a hole to foam core and pour in acetone to dissolve and pour out. Place hollow stone on scale and pour in concrete to very close to final weight, then plug hole several inches down the tube/hole and plug hole with cement or grout and sand/ polish. If manufacturer has professional steel mould and very consistent concrete mix they could be on the money every time. Benefit is they could use different foam sphere sizes to easily make stones lighter in say 5 lb increments. Professional concrete vibrator would result in more accurate weight with all air bubbles removed. Simplest answer is probably the right one. U R strong dude! Nicely done.
dude, those pups are stealing the show for me. they're so damn sweet, lol
Hi Al, thanks for sharing your casting experiences. Just a thought: have you considered using inflexible grade bolts with a few graduated flat washers on each side instead of plastic cable to ties to fasten your mould with together tighter?
The puppy did not disappoint.
This was awesome, thank you!
The lady at 2:11 was all like "Wtf is going on here..? Oh shit, they're making a video. I'm gonna go this way now."
Concrete is very strong in compression, but very weak in tension. Rebar is strong in tension, but buckles and bends when compressed. Combining the two makes for a very strong composite material that can be used to make strong and durable structures.
The fibers in the concrete are doing the same, but they're also randomly oriented and pointing in different directions, unlike rebar. This means their relative tensile strength vs. rebar is going to be much lower in any particular direction, but they can evenly handle tensile stesses from all directions.
Thank you for sharing this amazing video. Nice and interesting content. I enjoy watching your vlog. Keep up the good work. New friend here
Damn, so that's how planets are made hahahaha
Matthew Del Poso of course - the question is: who is shaking?
@@ralfburon6179 atlas is the Greek god that holds up the earth
BlackJack strictly speaking is Atlas a Titan, who holds up the celestial heavens (not the earth) 😉
@@ralfburon6179 thanks for the correction
BlackJack with pleasure. When I have visited Kreta I read a book about the greek gods and believe me: it is unbelievable complicated: blood and thunder without end and everywhere...
They don't make concrete shaker cups?
Easiest way to vibrate such a small volume : Put a sheet of hardwood on top of the mold and use the hammering function of a hammerdrill on top of it. The mold will pick up the vibration evenly all around.
Another thing to prevent bubbles would be to prepare the concrete with a bit more water and to pour it while stirring it with a paint stirrer mounted on a drill to drive airbubbles out. Will increase the time to dry , but this is a good thing with concrete , since it gets more stable when drying out slower.
The water leaks with the hybrid mold are a problem - the water takes the cement particles with it in the leaking areas and weakens the area considerable.
It should be mentioned as well to prevent the cast from frost if you work in a cold climate and from direct sunexposure in a hot one. Just below room temperature throughout the whole drying process (28 days - rule of thumb) will provide the hardest balls xD
Great video Alan, when I get my own place and have enough space for a home gym, I'll be making some of these, you could make a video about how to make weighted kegs ;) and how to build platforms to lift this stones onto ;)
I grow natural Stones here on the farm, never weighed them, but i'm confident I have any weight or size you need.
Very interesting video, Nice work mate
just a suggestion tape the inside of the hybrid once zip tied before you spray with silicone
just an opinion, but I think that is a really good idea. Could drill more holes for zip ties too, but I think an inside tape job would be very helpful.
48Boxer I used a silicone gasket maker I got from an auto parts stores. no leakage.
Dude, your hands are gna be FUUUUUCKED!! ...good job!
Hey man I know i'm literally 2 years late, but the tool you want is a mallet attachment for a power drill, theres one called "Radhammer" and you use it to bump air bubbles out of radiators :) cheap and effective
I'm legit into strongman training now thanks to you
I maybe have a tip for the hybrid mold.
Before you spray it with silicone, take some of that tape...and put it inside, exactly where one half of mold meets the other.
Cut it in on two areas and push it down a bit...so you can still put the molds together, without the tape intefering with the lips.
If you put in the cement...the cement will push the tape up...and close the gap, where the water was coming out...and the edge won't look as bad anymore.
I heared devil driver at the end...good taste in music!
I look up so much stuff on powerlifting and strong man and I almost turn up one of your videos. And I just realized I'm not subscribed. I fixed that issue!👍👍👍
I’m gonna make one of these. Always wanted one
