Questions,
answered.

Which weight should I start with?

If you are new to loaded training, start at 15 or 25 lb and add the plate kit as you progress. Most people who already train pick the 40 lb, which is the weight the original block was built to replace.

Are the boxes different sizes?

No. All four share the same footprint, modeled on a standard cinder block. Only the load changes, so a program written for one works on all of them.

How does the plate kit work?

Ten 2 lb plates load onto the threaded internal rods and lock with spring clamps. That is twenty pounds of adjustment, so one box covers several levels of training.

Can I use it outdoors?

Yes — fields, sand, dirt and grass are exactly what it was built for. Concrete works too, though dragging it across concrete will scratch the finish over time.

How long does an order take?

Boxes are kept in stock, and most orders leave our warehouse within two to three business days, shipping anywhere in the country.

Do you sell to units and departments?

Yes. Military, fire, law enforcement and academy orders are quoted directly. Tell us headcount and the mix of weights you need.
