My suggestion is to strengthen your upper body. Where I live you have to be able to lift a certain amount (approx. 185 pds.)before you can even ride on the truck. I am stuck at that point right now, I have everything done and passed except my lift test. So I am now concentrating on strengthening my shoulders, upper back muscles and biceps. I am also small framed and my height is 5'0 which is a disadvantage but know that once I gain strength and know how to properly lift the machine the weight is on then I know I will get it.
