Bending Technique In Blues

This evening I worked through Justin’s bending technique video and it was unexpectedly hard for me to bend up a tone. I’m not talking about playing a lick, just bending strings in isolation. I don’t know the string guage as they were on the guitar when I bought it. A second hand Yamaha Pacifica Mike Stern PAC-1511MS, incidentally, if that means anything. I’ll get the micrometer out tomorrow and measure the strings.
Can I think about fitting lighter strings to aid learning at the stage in at?
