Re: How much force do you REALLY get?
A very simple jig to get some accurate results is to make a 'dead lift' system using those muscle man weights as the load.

Set the cylinder either vertical or horizontal with a pulley.

Just a word of caution. Releasing the load back down will always be very fast unless you are using flow controls. Make sure you are using very strong cording as the tension/shock loads can be very high.
