Atlas Stone to Shoulder...

Setup:

■Stance = wide enough to accommodate the stone.
■Stone sits between the ankles with clearance for the arms.
■Weight toward heels.
■Both lower and thoracic spine are flexed.
■Arms straight, (acting like straps) hands/palms gripping the bottom of the stone facing one another; fingertips pointing towards each other.

Execution: (LIFT)
■Slowly dead-lift the stone from the ground.
■Slide feet towards the midline and pinch the knees together creating a shelf.
■Bend at the knees and lower the stone into the lap
■Re-Grip the stone with arms and hands in the 'Cobra' position. Chest and abdomen are pulled tightly to the stone.
■Extend the knees and hips rapidly, drive heels down, and roll the stone up the midsection towards the dominant shoulder while aggressively pulling the stone upwards with the arms.
■Stand to full extension with the stone sitting on the dominant shoulder to complete the movement.
