The MonsterBell is designed to be weight loadable by adding shot, BB's, coins, sand or a combination of to bring the weight to your desired level. This original 8" MonsterBell was the first design influenced by the late great pro strongman Jesse Marunde. Jesse asked Slater's Hardware to manufacture a bell that was loadable to 200 lbs with shot for the MetRx booth at the Arnold Fitness Weekend so he could display his awesome pressing strength. This bell has a handle of 2.5" and makes a great strength training tool that can be enjoyed for years. The empty weight is around 55 lbs.
