So I FINALLY finished my atlas stone. The result = kind of a mess. It is not smooth like the stone pictured here. The top half of the ball is smooth-ish (but still nowhere near as smooth as the one in the picture). The bottom half = a pock-marked mess. I bought some concrete patching stuff that will hopefully add some weight and smoothness. I had enough cement to make a 200+ pound ball, but I grossly underestimated the size of ball necessary to accommodate that amount of volume/weight. I ended up closer to 100+ pounds. I am still excited to have it, and it will add a new angle to my working out. I did the first workout the other night, and had some fun (30 clean-and-jerk type movements). It was fun working with weight in a different size/medium. Variety is always nice in exercise. My next venture: 15 foot climbing rope. I’ll keep you all posted.
