I took it to mean a weight appx the same as the rider in gear, then torque the arm. When I did mine, I had the seat off; I put a piece of 5/8" plywood across where the seat was and put 10 cinderblocks on the plywood, then tightened the anchor arm. it was prob'ly lighter than my fat a$$, but better than nothing. I'm betting the friction of the rubber bushing is take into consideration when compression/rebound damping and spring rates are calculated for these things.....
