I love the Stone of Steel for my garage gym. In a space of 388 square feet, this is a lifesaver because it would be impossible to keep multiple stones in the Iron Chaplain Gym. Instead, with the plate loaded SOS and the MBPC Loading Platform, you have all you need for strongman training. I love the plate loading feature and have not had the issues some mention in getting the hemispheres together and apart. I also find that training on the SOS is harder than normal stones, so come competition day, you will be strong, strong, strong. I do not use tacky towels with mine, just chalk, for an added challenge. It is the GOAT of plate loaded atlas training tools.
