Weld up a tank made to fit the weight rack. Put in a 1" fill and a large (2-3") drain pipe. This way you can vary the weight of the rig by the amount of water you add to the tank, and when you are done just drain the water. No more lifting or removing heavy sacks or whatever to add or subtract weight.

If God didn't have a purpose for us we wouldn't be here, so
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.
(Leave the rest to God)

Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
