When he successfully lifts her, she's closer to his body. Note that
she's small, which makes you think she'll be a cinch to lift, but in
fact works against you.
The lifting feat is down to the girl as much as Derren's suggestion.
She holds the forearms of the lifter so he's lifting at an awkward
angle. I also think she pushes/leans forward, triangulating the
upward force.
