How many pounds was the heaviest person you have ever lifted?

[Anonymous]

During my high-school years i managed to give a piggyback ride to someone who was 150 lbs. i was 250 lbs back then. Now i'm almost 130 pounds less so i believe that i can barely lift someone who weighs 80 pounds.

A friend in my old school way back when was a bit
on the heavy side, at the time.. Anyway, from 5th grade
grade and up, he started to find it funny that I could lift
him, even if only a couple inches off the ground and
felt the need to make an attraction of it, showing it to
the other people of our school.. He was 229lbs at the time.

I've no idea what I could lift now, as I don't really do
strength training in the same way many other guys do.

My friend is also not as heavy as he
was then, anymore. ^.~

Does lifting them an inch off the ground for one second count, lol? If so, then around 205 pounds. I don't think I can lift much, I'm not that strong. I know I can lift my own weight (105 pounds), but I don't know what my limit is.

[Asker]

WOW, you're even lighter than me... what's your age/height?

[daniel_honey_boy]

I'm 20, 5 feet and 7.5 inches tall.

[Asker]

gosh how's this possible. i thought you might be like 5'3"-5'4". i'm 5'7" and i'm 122 lbs and people tell me that i'm very skinny etc. it's really surprising that you're 105 and you're even a half inch taller. :-o

[daniel_honey_boy]

Yeah, people tell me I'm very skinny. But I'm just naturally thin with a small frame, that's just how I'm built.

I did this charity piggyback race thing like two or three years ago and you had to lift someone heavier than yourself so I lifted someone who was probably like 140 and I'm 128 so basically we fell over and lost but hey we still raised some money

[Asker]

charity piggyback? lol what on earth is that?

[behindthemask]

It was a piggy back race for charity and you had to get people to sponser you

[Asker]

where is a video where can i see?

[behindthemask]

I don't think there is one lol

[smokahontas]

127 pounds, which was one of my friends. I don't know that is considered strong for a girl like me but I know that lifting a person is easier than lifting weights because their weight is spread around.

[Asker]

yeah you're right about that, but i'd say strong enough for an average girl.. i don't know your size though. but personaly i doubt i can lift even 80 pounds

[smokahontas]

5'8/5'9 and 113 pounds as of right now

[Asker]

ok you can lift more than your weight so you're consindered strong enough

[smokahontas]

O: yay

We had to do a piggyback race in gum class and my friend decided to jump on my back and force me to carry him. He's probably like 120.

[Asker]

lol and you?

[Stuff_and_stuff]

I'm 130

[Asker]

lol nice :D

[Stuff_and_stuff]

Wow, gum class. Yes my school has a gum class people. Gym* thanks for MH

A bunch of us from school were playing chicken fights at the pool, and I got paired with a cute guy a year younger than me and we both managed to lift the other onto our shoulders, though I'm bigger than him. I'm 16, 5'10" and 198 lbs, and he's 15, 5'5" and a muscly 141 lbs. (I think maybe his back hurt the next day!)

[ToriaTiger]

A guy jumped on my back then a girl did. The guy was 180 and the girl was 135, so over 300 lbs. I could hold them up for about 5 seconds or more. Then I collapsed cause my legs buckled in. Im not sure if that counts as a piggy back ride though.

[soyunplatanos2]

I weigh 150 and I've lifted someone who is 160. It hurt like crap the next day...

[Asker]

piggyback?

[soyunplatanos2]

No, i bench pressed them. LOL yes, of course piggy back!

[Anonymous]

At one point, at the latter stage of my bench press workout, like, say, my last couple of sets, I would bench about 280 with no problem. At the point, my body weight was about 183 or so.

[Asker]

i'm talking about a PERSON... read my question better :-)

[Opinion Owner]

I read your question. I thought my answer gave you an indication of the max body weight I could lift. Can you not read between the lines? At that time, I could lift someone who weighed in the high three hundreds, more likely 385.

[MaskofInsanity]

My boyfriend is about 85kgs and I can piggy back him :D

[Asker]

really? and you?

[MaskofInsanity]

I'm 68 kgs :)

[Asker]

lol i guess you could toss me around like nothing, i'm only 123 lbs (around 55 kg)

[MaskofInsanity]

Yeah lol

[cavmanier]

Two guys at once which was about 420 pounds. I carried them a few steps.

[Wood-Carver777]

Height: 5'8ft-173m
Weight:70kg muscle.

[Wood-Carver777]

Kg to pounds, times it by 2,2.

[Asker]

no you got it all wrong... read my question better :-)

[Wood-Carver777]

Read wrong there man.187lbs for 10 sec nearly broke my back.

[Anonymous]

I picked up my gf and her sister and put them over my shoulder. I have dead lifted way more than that though. I don't work out I'm just country strong.

[Athleticbroo]

I squat 440 for two reps if that helps so. A 440 pounds person maybe

[TrueCountryGal]

Around 130-140 lbs

[Anonymous]
