I could not fit, but I think it would hold both of us!

We may need to use the Elite for a little more width for better weight balance

How much do each of you weigh?
They did some load testing and put 300 lbs of pellets on each shelf. The shelves deflected down while loaded but returned to normal after the load was removed.

Are those 40lb bags?  If so it 360lbs and just about right!  If they are 20lb bags, their math is off!

 Either way, that's a tremendous amount of weight... It's not just the shelves, the cabinet body and casters play a part too.

Don't know if you can zoom in or not but the guy here who took the picture says there are 20 bags per shelf.  They have bags stacked behind the ones in front.

Lets see - 15 x 40 LBS = 600 LBS/shelf x2 shelves =1,000 LBS or 1/2 Ton. That' some weight!
