This is the video tutorial I made to release the Stomper. I have more tutorials on the Stomper and related hardware coming but for now, this will give you an understanding of how it works.

If I could have found a barbell weight for $12 I would have done that and no one would have the benefit of the paint can idea which is considerably less than $12.I use a 10lb standard barbell weight. cost was around $12
That’s a great idea, Jim! I’ll start recommending it.I’m new to using the stomper and after watching the video tried to find a barbell weight that didn’t cost more than the stomper. Instead, I realized that a gallon paint can full of sand weighs 12 lbs. I grabbed an empty clean can, cut a 2” dia hole in the center of the bottom to fit over the collar of the face plate. I then epoxied a empty yogurt cup over the hole upside down. That keeps the sand from falling out. Fill the can with playground sand, put on the lid and presto, a 12 lb weight to glue down the rings. Cost: nearly zero since I had everything. I did have to eat the yogurt.
