I finally just packed it up full of play sand and immediately i could tell this one the one to get the job done. It may not be the heaviest for experienced lifters but for intermediate and below you simply gotta give it a go. I wasn't sure how the 125 lb would feel like but after a few lifts i could honestly feel my ancestors within my bones. If you dont have atleast one, you should add it to your regiment, you wont be disappointed unless you go overboard maybe.
