26lb Braemar Stone Standards

fwiw

In my exp the only time you'll find records for B & C class athlete's is a field record kept by an AD for a specific game or stone. What's more, these are usually A class numbers as setting one of these records generally means you're good enough to move up.

as far as goals or stone put advice - I'm the last person you want to listen to. Maybe post some video and see if some of the heavy hitters will help out, they're usually very willing to offer pointers.

Where are you located Ben?

Also, be sure to train with a 16 lbs. stone as well as an underweight stone, like a 14 lbs. one.  The lighter stone will help train your body to move faster.  You will also be able to focus more on technique when weight of the implement your holding isnt an issue.

I'm in Lawrence, Kansas.  About 30 minutes from KC.  Thanks for the tip on training with underweight stones as well as overweight, I didn't know that but it definitely makes sense.

I'd say try not to train with something extremely over weight very often it slows you arm speed way down and actually hurts more than helps.......training with a light weight is great stuff

I dunno if I would use a 60 pound stone, but training
heavier is a good idea in my opinion. 60 seems a bit excessive , but i might try a 30, or that 29 is probably
close enough. Light is also really good cause these guys
are right, it develops speed and explosiveness. Its kinda
like maxing out on squats to get the raw power, and doing
cleans to get the explosiveness, or at least that's the
best way I can think to explain it. Hope this helps a
little, good luck man.
