Has anyone heard of this?

Question

I was shown this in vo tech but I do not remember exactly how it worked...Only a woman can do it, supposedly a man cannot. It has something to do with standing against a wall and picking up a chair? Anyone hear about this, I've wanted to show some people, but I forgot exactly how to do it...Help please?

Answer 1

1) Stand with the toe of one shoe against the wall.

2) Placing one foot directly in back of the other, heel touching toe, take two steps back from the wall.

3) Set a chair between you and the wall.

4) Bend over and touch your head to the wall - forming a 90° angle at the waist. Do not bend your legs.

5) Take hold of the chair, and pick it up.

6) Now, try to stand up straight. Only women can do it.

Answer 2

I'm a man and I did it although you have to grasp the arms of the chair and push yourself upwards then pull the chair with you. Not easy to balance. I do know that if you stand with your back to a wall with your legs straight you can't bend down without falling over.

Answer 3

After taking the backward steps, the feet should be put side by side, and not one in front of the other.
A woman usually has a lower center of gravity than a man does. That is why most women can do it, and most men can't.
