This is one of the "proper names" of the stance.

There's many translations, this is one of them, but we call it horse when we're just talking about it.
Using weights seems to be discouraged in my branch because it interferes with relaxation training. You tense when you should be relaxed. Your mind can handle the difference, but does your body understand?
There is a lot of debate on how people should train. I'm only 6 months in so I'm not the most experienced person to be asking, but what I do know is relaxation and a proper stance is necessary for good kung fu.
