Women who really like to lift and carry

"I mean, making it a game can make almost everything fun."

We cite here an earlier quote by a forum member, maybe two weeks old.

In other words, this is a bit of a delayed response to this post, sorry. But the original poster hit the nail on the head when he said "making it a game can make almost everything fun."

Judging by his comments he was referring to the scavenger hunt sheet that I've been using (to get over 100 lifts).

It's true: Making it a game makes all the difference. I mean, are you just going to approach a group of random girls and say, "Hey, can you lift me?"

Think about it. But the sheet changes everything. It makes it all seem fun, like a board game or something. The key is the presentation. You have to appear outgoing and fun-loving, like it actually is a game.

You have to joke around with them and make them laugh.

For the most part the girls love the challenge and are eager to try to help you out.

Incidentally, the scavenger hunt sheet presents many challenges, of which lifting a guy is merely one. Of course, most of these challenges are designed to weed most girls out.

For example, how many girls are named Candace? Or have a Canadian passport? Or can juggle four objects? Or have a twin? Or a 1968 Corvette?

See what I mean?

They read through the list saying, "No, we can't help you with that, we can't help you with that, we can't help you with that..."

But then they come to the challenge that reads "Video of you lifting a girl - then HER lifting YOU! (10 bonus points for the most impressive lift)."

They'll more often than not say "WAIT - we can DEFINITELY help you with that! I can lift you" (or alternately: Hey, she can definitely lift you, pointing to one of her friends).

It all starts from there.

Incidentally, I once ran into three girls on the street who actually checked off THREE boxes...

Two of the girls were twins. I figured that was more than enough. But the one who wasn't actually had a Canadian passport.

Then one of the twins just smiled and said "I can lift you."

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!

True story.

This was maybe the most impressive lift I've ever gotten with the scavenger hunt sheet (I've posted pics of this in this thread).

Anyway, back to the present. I got a lift from a cutie with a real tight little body just hours before I typed this message, using humor and the sheet.

Once again: Making a game out of it is the key to getting lifts.

I've gotten about 110 lifts that way. And I'm over 200 lbs. so I'm not some tiny guy these girls are lifting. And they're all smaller to average size girls since those are the only kinds I approach. I'm not much interested in being lifted by a hefty girl.

Just remember to use humor. Humor is key.

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.
