Energy. Once more

Here is something I dont fully understand, and am a bit embarrassed to say so.

Romina was attempting to prove, scientifically, the energy concept.

1. I Stand up
2. Leave left arm to dangle freely, right arm outstretched to the right.
3. Hold right arm parallel to ground, and attempt to maintain rigidity
4. Romina pushes down on right hand; outstretched hand holds firm, T formation remains.
5. I take hold of a mobile phone in my left hand, and once again right arm outstretched to the right.
6. Romina pushes down on right hand; outstretched hand yields.
7. I take grip of a carton of milk in my left hand, and once again right arm outstretched to the right.
8. Romina pushes down on right hand; outstretched hand holds firm, T formation remains.


Since then, we had some fun in the canteen, with Andrew, Dave and Dom. All tried this little experiment on each other, with an enormous deal of skepticism. Yet achieved the same results.

Eh? Is it time to start believing her?


Comments:
So there's an evidently real phenomenon.

But is there anything particularly plausible about her "energy" explanation?

Is my alternative explanation - that invisible unicorns are pulling on your arms - not equally plausible?
 
A mental condition. So getting a non-smoker to think about smoker's lungs would cause the same weakness as well.
