I looked list of artificial objects to lift on the moon.

Lunar Roving Vehicle curb is only 76lb/34kg. That's would be a fun OHP set.

The Descent Stage of Lunar Landing Module is 358kg/789lb. Probably strong man car squat with one of the legs for reps.

Many landed probes/landers between the 1-5 plate territory territory.

I actually like all the new light weight resistence cable machines that perfroms like IRED released in the last few years. But a 24 ft barbell with 10 ft of mooncrete bumper plates on each side to replicate a 5plate pull would be neat.

I think the NASA goal is to build up muscle base on earth and do least impact/injury risk routine to preserve muscle mass and bone density. I'm assuming it's not bro science, and they have injury table for astronauts who are genpop fit but not lifter strong, and optimizing for that. I wonder what their policy on steriods is.

Well, if nothing else there's a lot of basalt lying around on the moon, which would weigh about 3,000 kg/m3 on earth. That means it should weigh around 500 kg/m3 on the moon. So you're gonna need some big plates, but getting up to the amount of weight they have people lifting on IRED sounds pretty doable. This way all you have to send over from earth is a bar and some buckets!
