Ok ill explain why the answer is no. Lets say a man could lift 200 pounds. He comes across a stone that weighs 200 lbs, and he, of course, can lift it. Now, we can all agree that God can lift an "infinite" amount of mass. When God creates a boulder that ways an infinite amount of mass, he will be able to lift it if he pleases, because the limit of mass he can hold is infinite, which matches the weight of any stone he will create.
