The weights are made from MDF, cut with a hole saw. The bar is plastic tubing with armature wire inside, so I could make it flex like it was really heavy.

I love how the weight bends, and his reaction really goes with especially when he drops it, the timings are perfect, I love doing that test because it challenges everything, timing, sense of weight and gravity, character, strength, reaction and so many others.

Great. Specially the moment of the second effort, to lift the weight completely and there is a little pause and then starts shaking, that kind of details give personality to the animation. I've started to make my own excercises on movement and expression. Wish you could see them and give me your opinion.
