I witnessed an amazing feat of strength today by a woman in her 50s. Her family works the all night shift at the dump. In the morning when I arrive they have a large amount of goods in large black plastic bags that they have taken out of the dump. They need to transport these large bags from the main digging area to an area down the road where that particular families work out put is stored (no one steals here from pile to pile, each is their own).
The bag she carried was filled with glass bottles etc. and very heavy. I tried lifting the bag and the thing weighed a ton. When the time came to carry the bag her her husband came over and together to waist level then they hauled it up all the way until it was on top of her head. She then started to walk while balancing the bag. To top it off she also also lifted and carried a large bag on her shoulder. Never seen something like this before, she was probably carrying more than 1/2 her body weight, an amazingly hard worker.
