Allura takes a moment first to position herself, bracing her shoulders underneath an overhanging lip, then hooking her hands underneath with the palms up. She wants to ensure that she'll be able to put all the strength of her frame, particularly her arms and legs, into this one massive deadlift.
"... ready? And... now!"
As she shouts the word, she puts all her power into one tremendous lift, hauling everything up at least a foot off the ground. The strain is enough that she estimates it to be more than she could comfortably lift even when she had full access to her alien strength.
And while the siphoned energy helps amplify her strength far enough to even complete the endeavor, pushing herself past her limits is weakening her control of it. She can feel twinges of pain and heat, as if the energy is starting to cook her from the inside out.
