They say its weighs 150lbs,which I have not been able to verify. But I do know that doing squats,cleans,standing presses,static holds,and walking with it on each shoulder is not easy.Thats enough to tell me it works. Seriously works the core too. Leave the crunches to the undedicated! At the gym I go to we have a keg filled with sand. They say its weighs 150lbs,which I have not been able to verify.
