As the weight is tied into place Amanda's arms, which are tied behind her back, feel the pressure. The weight tied to a ring above her provides a constant pull on her arms. Squirming to escape, her muscles start to fatigue, which only allows the rope to inch higher and higher. It's not long before she finds herself bent over with her arms high in a strappado. Gravity does its work while Amanda tries her best to keep her arms from going any higher.
