It all depend on the handle length. If it is too short like my case, I practically have to stand on it, to lift the bike.

If you have a long level or handle then laws of leverage will assist you in the lift. Very little strength required.

If you cannot lift the bike yourself then stop, please get a spotter coz it is already super dangerous doing it yourself. 200kg is no joke when it topples over.

a few things with the paddock and leverage

the angle of the bobbin to the paddock touching the ground
- if the angle is too low, it is harder to jack the bike up
- if the angle is too high, it is easier to jack the bike, but the wheel might not be too high off the ground

and then the length of the pressing arm

a good paddock stand have 2 levels of lift - first level to make the bike easy to jack, and second level to lift the wheel higher off the ground, and also give it stability

a bad paddock will cause a bike to roll forward and drop off etc
