Is a Pre-Employment Strength Test Common for Brewery Jobs?

Few weeks ago I had interview for a job( sitting at the conveyor belt and checking beer bottles ) at the big national brewery,I was speachless when I had to answer 50 questions in a 12 minutes.I could not answer even 5 of them .So they thank me for coming and told me to wait for phone call if they are interested in me.
I almost forgot about that interview but then Holy Cow! yesterday they called me back but I have to go for a strenght test now,while my lower back is killing me,sometimes I can't even get up from the chair not to mention lifting something heavy from the floor.
My question;did anyone of you went thru this strenght test? is there a lot of lifting and stuff?do I stand a chance?

The only person who can answer your questions is probably your prospective employer. You should be honest about your lower back problems, because your health might be endangered.

I took a strength test for the phone company. All I had to do was to hold this scale device in front of my chest and pull with both arms. Then they read the meter.

Go see a chiropractic for your back.

Hey! I'm back from the strenght test.They tested my legs ,arms, and lower back, somehow I managed to do all the bending and lifting without falling apart (Lower back is killing me)
Results of the tests going to be send to my potential employer on monday, I hope I'm going to get the job at the brewery
Besides my problems with lower back I also suffer from epileptic seizures, I instead told them my health is perfect Ha!Ha!Ha!Ha!Ha! Suckers

Epileptic seizures... back problems... and you lie?

That seems far more important than a job.

It seems like he has some other problems in addition to his epileptic seizures and back problems. Maybe with some good medical benefits, he'll get the help he really needs.
