Women who really like to lift and carry

I laughed it off. She was a skinny little thing who couldn't have been more than 105 lbs. I was 190-195. But she repeated it. She was serious.

Anyway, she didn't just pick me up a few inches off the ground in a bearhug or whatever, like a lot of other girls so. No way.

This skinny little girl actually CRADLED my 190-195!

Here's an example of a girl casually doing a one-arm chin-up. She looks pretty small, but at least 110-115lbs? But that means she can pull 220-230lbs. just as easily using both arms, right?

And here's another girl around that size doing a regular chin-up with 105lb. of weights strapped to her body.

And this girl managed a chin-up with a total weight of 237lbs. (She doesn't look too big either but the scale says she weighed 144.)

Not at all, that isn’t how that works. They are different movements.

However, in all likelihood, she possesses the power for LnC.

I understand they're different movements. But it's a more demanding one to do a one-arm pull-up than to hold someone else on your back.

I remember years ago, there were multiple guys commenting on YouTube channels when athletic women would do regular chin-ups, saying "I'll really be impressed if a woman ever does a legit one-arm chin-up.". And for years after that, you never saw it happen. Then, videos started appearing with a few women able to do weighted chin-ups with an extra 25lbs. or what-not. And it progressed from there.

Given the fact women generally have more lower body strength than upper, it's just much more common they've got the leg strength to leg press a stack of weights at the gym, and not to have their legs be the limitation for carrying a guy. It's usually going to be more of a struggle for them to hold a guy up on their back with their arms around his legs. (That's why you sometime see smaller girls giving bigger guys a piggyback by bending over and walking around with him more or less lying across her back, vs standing straight up.)

My point is that doing a one arm pull up doesn’t mean she can automatically pull 230lbs just as easily.
