Thanks for posting this video it is excellent. I have made 2 sets of these standards over the last few years! Both going strong and broken down will fit inside a 2020 pathfinder for transport. Only negative is inflation, materials will set you back $130

How long do you recommend for a handle for someone who is 5' 2.5" , and Jr highlander who is 4' 11"? I'm goingnto attempt to make some for our next games in Sept.

Sorry for the delayed response. There is no minimum length (only maximum...must be under 6') but I'd say a 4ft handle and 5ft overall length is just fine for almost any athlete.

I started watching this without even looking at the channel name and I kept thinking "Man this guy sounds familiar to me..." Then you turned the camera around and I saw your face and was like "Oh hey I know that guy!" I am going to try making my own implements and get some practice in and hopefully come back to UHA and start competing with you guys, I miss all of you!

I imagine a degree of customization is important since I have a feeling it's common to grab the one off the shelf from Home Depot and Lowes, then it's like the airport where everyone is trying to figure out which identical bag of luggage is theirs. After I cut 2 of the 5 tines from my Lowes fork I painted the metal at the base of the fork a distinct color for this and rust protection.

What do you do at the bottom of the little pole to keep the weights from sliding off? Did you crush it a little with a vise?

Please read this to test on next weighing hevy objects! As at 3:03 after set up one side of metal stick fixed on stable spot, then hook with weigh-measurement tool start to slide closer to human, this "event of sliding" require more power to lift heavy object. It's requireng more torque power to lift the rock. Weld small 2 hooks (or sticks) (at least 2, but you could weld more) on your metal spear (from one side of metal spear of 1/3 or 1/4 or 1/5 of it length), because measurement instrument with heavy rock on it won't move, and will stay fixed, it should be easier to lift, because it will stay closer to point of hinge, or point or rotation. It means that, if heavy load if closer to center of rotation (farer from human he is as torque power) heavy object will be easier to be lifted.

What is your lifting frequency? I have an Atlas stone but can't seem to lift it more than once a week. Maybe it's too heavy. Anyway nice video.

I don’t get out to lift stones as often as I’d like but keep up on my strength with other lifts. I have collected a bunch of stones of various weights in my backyard. I try to lift some kind of stone at least once a month and the reps will vary depending on the weight of the stone. If you’ve only got one maybe try max reps to lap one day and then max reps to chest on another day. Mix it up as best you can.

There is a stone lifting group started by Ryan Stewart (stewsquatch on Instagram) and he did all the legwork of finding the lifting locations and stones, and adding GPS pins. If you’re interested look up Utah Stones of Strength in Facebook.

Yeah, it’s really close but not quite 1”. If you beat the pipe down a bit on the end (where you drill the hole) it’ll fit.

I made a weight and noticed the same thing, but on Amazon I found "D Shackles" that are like these so the gap is bigger. I put a little rubber brushings in to help fill the space and add cushioning.

This video answered a lot of my questions on how to put these blades on the boots, which is great. I have not competed yet and that is because for the last two years the highland games in my area have cancelled, thanks to covid. So, I am hoping that the Milwaukee highland games actually get their festival going this June, so I can finally get my feet wet and compete. Until then, I'll get some boots and get the blades put on them so I'm ready. Overall, good video!

Thanks for watching and good luck with the games. It can be tricky for a big festival, but during the first Covid outbreak we ended up doing some backyard style games with just athletes and their families.

Tried the Little Cottonwood stone yesterday. Got humbled. Didn't realize how weak my grip is, but I didn't try to pick it up in the same spot you did. Might have to try that, or the super low squat and bear hug method to avoid my weak grip. Cheers! You killed it.

You could get some 4x4s with holes in the base so they fit over the front weight stacks. Then drill some horizontal holes in them along with some in the yoke bar to allow you to put safety pins through for benching and squatting
