Atlas Stone, Strongman

/AT-las stoan, STRONG-man/  n.
  1. 1. A spherical weight of imposing mass, employed in the sport of strongman competitions, often requiring Herculean effort to lift and maneuver. Its surface is characteristically rough, resembling a cosmic boulder that defies trivial engagement.
  2. 2. colloq. What happens when a moon decides it needs a gym membership.
In a sentence,

"He hoisted a thiccc Atlas Stone, the strongman-comp variety, with a grunt that echoed through the arena. The spotters took a step back in reverent awe."

Etymology,

From Greek Atlas, the Titan who held up the sky, + Old English stān, meaning 'stone'. Clearly, a marketing ploy for the gym-averse.
