About the only useful situation for deadlifting an object like that is to lift it straight up a few inches so that someone else can slip a dolly or a block underneath it. Or occasionally deadlifting a lever to move something that can slide without damaging itself or the substrate.
About the only place I could get a "clean" lift on my engine would be with my feet on the cockpit seats. But there's a perfectly good mast and boom right there... Doesn't get easier than that!
BTW, deadlifts day is Friday. It probably wouldn't work on Saturday.  |
Deadlift day is any day Todd!
But I do agree - the conditions within the companionway are not conducive to a safe lift.
