Atomic Ball 25 Pound
ABALL30
Grip guys will
love this one!
Lighter stone spheres, like the 25 Pound Atomic Ball is part of the Shaolin school of martial arts training.
Heavy Stone lifting is great but don't forget the light stones too. Everyone can benefit from one handed and high rep two handed stone work. Try it in your routine for great conditioning and functional strength development.
Check out this quick tip from Roger from a recent Bomb Proof Bulletin:
I have been getting a lot of questions about the importance of grip
training with the 25 Pound Atomic Ball. As you might guess, because of
our new Stone Padlocks, the martial arts guys have not been wondering
about the small stones at all. It’s all about GRIP! The martial arts
guys who study the Shaolin Monks have
seen the books, videos and live demos of the monks with their fantastic
grip.
(Yes, you remember, Grasshopper...)
Try this exercise, and I recommend the standard rough stone for this one:
hold your Atomic Ball on the right and left side, using the crushing power
of your chest. Now, that is a tough way to do a curl. However, we haven’
t even gotten to the really tough part. Try the same thing, but only
using the finger tips!
These 25 lb. granite balls have a variety of training uses. Using these balls for single limb work forces you to "stay tight" and makes for a great core workout. Even the simple act of walking with one in your hand is enough to fry your stabalizers. They are also a great training tool for for the Highland Games Stone-Put.
We don't recommend using them as a pillow like Ken Cobb, former St. John's University noseguard, and owner of STEEL Fitness shown in the lower picture but after a session with Dr. Ken Leistner, you'll be able to sleep anywhere!
The 25 lb. Atomic ball now includes the awesome Stone Sphere Instructional Chart #1 which outlines a full workout. Click here for more details.

The is the size we also typically sell to make the Indian Gada. If you want to make your own real Indian Gada, you must let us know that you want one with the hole drilled in it. Call us and ask for Roger for some tips on adding your handle.
25 Pounds is an estimated weight. As a natural material, they are hand cut to size and granite can vary somewhat in density. In the past we called these 30 pounders, because they might weigh 25-35 pounds. Now we call them 25 pounders and you "get any extra weight free". A drilled hole will lower the weight slightly.
Currently in stock.
Typical lead time is 6-8 weeks. Thank you for your patience.
