the training thread is a good example of that.
if you do use it, be careful--if a calibrated weight gets rough handling, you can damage the very thing you paid for (e.g., chipping a few grams off of whatever surface). maybe not a huge deal but it runs counter to what you are hoping to achieve.
10 kilos, at least? hoping you went for 20+.
