I don’t know that I’d hold it against any mechanic for having one of these. Even if you’re super fit, these bikes can weigh 80+ lbs and you might be working a dozen+ of them per day every business day.
I think most mechanics are fully capable of lifting 80 lbs onto a stand, but doing it many times a day every day for years without a break seems like a recipe for back injuries.
I can lift mine up with one hand even, but only once or twice lol. After that I’d probably be increasingly unenthusiastic about it.

That’s ridiculously heavy. Okay, mechanics have a legit excuse for not being strong enough to lift bikes.
