Strongman Stone Strap

Spud Inc designed the stone strap for people that are in between stones and for people that want to train the big stones. The stone strap is easy to use and can offer a huge training benefit by building muscle memory on the big stones. Simply cradle the stone using the stone strap and lap it just like you would any other stone, then ditch the strap and place the stone. The stone strap can also be used to: pull the chain, make modified farmer walk handles, and do close grip pull-ups with. The stone strap is a great tool with many uses for training strongman events.

What is a Strongman?

Strongman equipment trains raw, functional strength through odd-object lifting, carrying, and loading — atlas stones, yokes, farmer’s handles, sleds, logs, and tires — rather than the fixed, balanced resistance of a barbell. It’s a fit for lifters who’ve plateaued on conventional strength training and want to build the grip, bracing, and full-body coordination that competition strongman and functional fitness demand, or who simply want the most direct training carryover to real-world lifting and carrying tasks. Most pieces are bulky and some (tires, natural stones) are sourced or repurposed rather than bought outright, so plan for storage space and, in a few cases, DIY sourcing as part of owning this equipment.
