    Did a web search and it still shows the company in business. Looks like they specialize in football equipment. I have no idea what these would be used for.

    I think I remember seeing them at football practice. On the padded sleds the coaches stand on. When running line drills. Now that I'm thinking about it I think I'v heard them refered to as lead sleds.

    I think pathfinder is in the ball park with his thoughts , the center holes are small and they for sure are lead as they are very soft and I don't have a clue myself.

    Some kind of standard weights, apparently not frequently changed with a screw type
    of attachment. The tackling sled sounds reasonable, but I never played football beyond
    sandlot games, so no idea.

    If it was easy, anybody could do it.

    That's the time spent while the wife decides what to wear to go out to dinner.

    In another thread, there are "diver's waits" which apparently is what you do on the boat while the swimmers are down.
