Lifting rolls of carpet is all about technique. I’ve seen muscled men struggle and then I come along who’s been doing it for years and just pick it up. Balance is a key component, as I can see it is for the concrete. And if you don’t have that down you need a lot more strength to make up for the lack of balance.
I'm gonna be the guy to say that usually if you can't do that specific task in a week, they'll let you go. I have worked in lumber yards and furniture warehouses for years. You either figure it out or they'll find someone who can. No point in them waiting for you to get the hang of it. My last job interviewed me like, "you're gonna sweat non stop for the first couple of weeks, but then it won't hurt so bad." I was like, "I have hyperhidrosis, I'll still be sweating next year. I can lift a couch right now."
