Have anyone of you guys tried this method, and has if so has is it helped with lifting stones for real.

The technique is one I learned of diesel crew, who have vids on utube for it.

Just get the end of a olympic bar and unsrew it from the main bar, so you left with what you usualy slide the weights on. Then slide a couple of plates preferably rubbers [incase you drop weight] and put on a collar to stop weight movement. put a 10 pound plate on the floor and roll your fake atlas stone onto the plate and pick it up.

I have used this methods for bout 9 months and am stuck using 320lbs for 1-3reps. I going to try an used a conjugate method to help me get through the plateau and use heavy good mornings for 3 weeks 6-9 reps and then rack pulls just bellow the knee for three weeks 6-9 reps then go back to the fake atlas stone pick ups and see if it has helped.

I would be happy at 420lbs for 3 reps.

Anyone had any experience with this technique.
