Default help with situps

I started doing bill stars 5x5 program
Bill Starr 5x5 - Madcow Intermediate or Linear Version

well anyhow I do wieghted situps, but theres only so much weight I can place on myself
the 35 pound disc is kinda big and smothers my whole frame...
I could hold much more weight but the 45's are huge and i cant put my arms over that...
holding 3 tens instead is a bit better buta bit sloppy....

how do people do these things?
and I am doing them with my feet anchored.... unanchored I could just do myself with no wieght..

well I came up with a exercise that might exist but as far as I'm concerned I made it up.... And because I made it up I dont know if its safe....

instead of holding the disc against my chest, I hold it out in front of me (elbows bent slightly) like im grabbing the wheel in a car
its above my head in starting position. then I do a situp and bring it over my knees, where it pulls at my stomach and I have to keep it upright and hold it still. then I go back to starting postion.


so what do you think?
let me guess this is already an exercise?
