Look - no hands! It's all about technique, or so I've been told. All sorts of ruses are used to make up for a lack of height/weight/bulk, and sometimes they even work!

This little test is commonly known as 'The Atlas Stones' and it's not hard to fathom why. The test is to life each of the five stones onto a pedestal at about head height. The snag? The lightest of the five weighs a mere 100 kilos: the heaviest more than makes up for it at 170 kilos!
