> To give you an idea of how bad that is, find a 12 lb object in your house, suspend it from a string, then attempt to lift it by just curling your index finger.

Was curious so gave this a try with 20 lb, and it was tough, but not egregiously so.

Of course, I'm a climber during normal times, and my current routine has devolved to just hangboard training and gymnastic ring work.

And for reference, a 24-pack of 355 ml beer cans is 20 lb, if you're looking for appropriate household objects.

It's made worse when you're trying to do that while also trying to keep a steady aim, as well.
