That's 36 gallons of water. See if you can get some kind of tank and fill it with water so you don't have to break your back loading it.
That or maybe just a couple guys.

Water is often used for such purposes. 36 gal = 300#
Large weightlifting plates are 45# Bags of cement are 80# IIRC.

4 bags of cement is too big. If I could get 3 100lb bags of cement, that would be almost perfect.

Common cement comes in #94 bags, or in half sized #47 pounders.
Bags of 30 mesh sand are #100 even. Is pretty cheap too. Gold is heavier than lead if you need something denser......

Some old car batteries would do the trick.

28 16"X16" paver stones from Lowe's or Home Depot should do the trick. You can deliver them to my house at ...

Lead bars = Plumbing supply house. Lead is the cheapest of the high density metals I think. Old batteries is a good idea, but I don't know if they are actually denser than solid concrete. Maybe a little. Granite is pretty heavy!
