Aiming for a 250 squat by the end of 2012 Member 1989, 3168 posts SQ 240, BP 140, DL 270650.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq | Have you stopped to consider how big a 1000kg atlas stone would actually be!! Do you think there is a maximum diameter of stone that can be physically lifted. | ||

Giving a range between 211-241.5 ish. Would you have to fill the centre with shot or similar ballast to keep the stone to a manageable size. | ||

Would you have to fill the centre with shot or similar ballast to keep the stone to a manageable size. the largest mould I have is just under 21'' diameter and produces a stone weighing 200kg ish I think anything larger diameter wise becomes unrealistic after all big z felix terry et all failed to lift this stone at the comp in london a few years back | ||

 really really interesting Member 3474, 2816 posts SQ 170, BP 120, DL 260550.0 kgs @ 100kgs UnEq | Post Edited: 26.01.2013 @ 21:51 PM by fong you could make stones weigh tons and stay the same size quite easily with different density materials.they use a thing called 'ducrete' to shield up radiation hotspots on nuclear power stations. it's concrete and depleted uranium mixed together, giving around 10g per cubic cm. considering concrete is just over 2g per cubic cm, it could get A LOT heavier lol. jt can you get hold of some depleted uranium by any chance? | ||

There was these standard weights made of a special metal which were the references for the Kilogram and what not. But they realised that after a long time they appeared to be changing weight. Some conspiracy fodder the chew over; http://www.apocalypse2008-2015.com/IPK_Kilogram_Changed.html Perhaps 3 tonne weights really were lifted! | ||

 either Im a penis or Im not a penis Member 722, 2977 posts SQ 300, BP 220, DL 350870.0 kgs @ 123kgs UnEq | terryhollands said: I believe that lot down in Gloucester used to have a giant 250. I have a 235, rob has a 245 I believe. Felix lifted the 242 at the Arnold's which I believe is the heaviest lifted by a Brit but I had a torn bicep at the time. Iv3 don3 a set of 3 with my 235 We have that stone now. I intend on lifting it after I have mastered the 110 again lol | ||

 jerking is obviously great, Member 2521, 4717 posts SQ 235, BP 160, DL 290685.0 kgs @ 111kgs UnEq | That's amazing. ystradboy79 said: Yeah they are cemented down mate , I clipped one on an ind est down poole with the back bar of an 24t wagon and it broke free , was tempted to get the forkie to load it on the back for me but thought better of it , middle of the afternoon with office windows all round was a bit obvious | ||

Member 2950, 142 posts SQ 155, BP 102.5, DL 230487.5 kgs @ 77kgs UnEq | Right, osmium is the most dense naturally occuring material at 22.59g/cm3 21" = 53.34 cm radius = 26.64 cm volume = 79198 cm3 weight = 1789kg at a spot price of around $400 per troy = around $12860 per kilo = £8140 1789 kg x £8140 per kilo = £14562460 So the heaviest that could be made at a size that could be picked up would weigh around 1800 kg and cost around £14.5 million (but I'm assuming you might get a bulk discount) | ||

More than welcome to come down and see me weigh it | ||
