This is Steaphen's suit of armor on it's stand at the Salle.  Being on the stand not only displays the armor but makes it easier to inspect the armor after tournaments and faires for anything that needs cleaning or repairing.
Here is Steaphen in armor demonstrating one of the exercises used to build up stamina and strength while getting used to wearing a 70 pound suit of metal
Now Steaphen is completing the swing, this may look easy but swinging a 10 pound hammer while wearing a 70 suit of armor can be very tiring.
Speaking of tiring another exercize done with that tire is what looks to be very simple and easy.  The act of standing on a tire is something that any child can do but when wearing an extra 70 pounds of metal that makes you top heavy
This is a drill to build the leg muscles and to improve balance.  When done quickly one miss step could easily cause a fall and when someone is wearing that much armor falling is potentially a lot more dangerous.
