I'm sure I read some advice somewhere that went along the lines of:
"maybe you should think less about what other people are doing and more about what you have done and what you want to do"
Added weight is really old tech. Tow a lorry tyre behind your bike for standing starts, or wear a weighted vest etc etc...
It all may or may not help, depending on the individual.
