      All I stated was that in actuality there is plausibility within their story, nothing more, and nothing less. I didn’t see the people saying they could do it at 12, which is what my comment mainly meant.

Try that with even an 8lb and it's very hard please lmk if anyone tries this and what you thought ? I use a 33 inch handle with a 12 lb when I do that. Can't get the 20lb yet , but working in it .
