The average cinder block, which measures 8 inches wide by 8 inches tall by 16 inches long, weighs approximately 36 to 40 pounds

I used to carry them 2 at a time

Really? They didn't feel that heavy when i was putting in raised beds.

I honestly was amazed as well sure seem lighter then that

Maybe the holes in it create a perception that they are light.

They are also known as hollow block, concrete brick, concrete block, cement block, besser block, and breeze block

According to Wiki, these are the usual sizes:

Blocks come in many sizes. In the US, the most common size is 16 in × 8 in × 8 in (410 mm × 200 mm × 200 mm); the block measures a 3/8 in shorter, allowing for mortar joints. In Ireland and the UK, blocks are usually 440 mm × 215 mm × 100 mm (17.3 in × 8.5 in × 3.9 in) excluding mortar joints. In New Zealand and Canada, blocks are usually 390 mm × 190 mm × 190 mm (15.4 in × 7.5 in × 7.5 in) excluding mortar joints.

Light weight blocks can weigh around 28lbs but the heavier versions will be in the region of 38lbs.

if so you could wheel the blocks into place no carrying needed just insert under and wheel away.
