Since our Petty Officer was VERY focussed on strength Training and Fighting, most of our deck apes were… sorta gigantic by the end of back-to-back westpacs (6 month deployments with less than a month between)
A coil of Line weighs around 1500 lbs, and two or three guys tried to move them from the stem to the stern of the ship as fast as possible… If you only take half of the byte, you have the weight PLUS the friction of dragging that enormously heavy line across non-skid.

So your best bet was just to pick the whole damn thing up as a team and haul it to the other end of the ship. Do that a couple of dozen times a day as ‘makework’ and you get HUGE.
