Oh by the way please mention which carrying style you'll be able to do if you can lift her and how long you think you'll be able to last before you need to put her down :)

I can carry 100lbs on my back basically indefinitely. I work out with a vest that weighs that and it isn't an issue anymore. I can throw a 120lb girl into the air while she's in my arms like the second picture - probably carry for 10 minutes or so. 4th picture is going to be the most efficient in terms of what you could really carry. I've done that with a guy who was 180 without any difficulty, so... maybe 250 at max? A 140lb girl using that style I could do for an hour, I'm sure. Would be sore the next day though.

Well to move 140 lbs girl with ease is hard. Most my partners in dance class are 100-130 lbs and it can be tuff sometimes, if your not together. I can lift probably on and off for about 2-3 hours...

Sorry for repeat.

[Asker]

Woah are you a dancer? That's amazing

[aithe4ngel]

I know I could im in that area and carried a girl suitably maybe 20 pounds heavier acorss a football field twice in a row for rugby practice. It was only fun for the first three fourths though and oh yea live willing people much easier to carry, I dont think I could cary a girl in my arms for long but piggy back sure haha why not ^.^

[Asker]

Go girl! Do you lift?

[aithe4ngel]

Haha not often but its only fair to know how hard lifting someone is if you want to be lifted yourself ^.^

[Anonymous]

I guess most guys could. But personally I HATE when anyone carry me and I'm 5'2 and 95 pounds. Although I don't think you need to worry about it.

[justbanANNAz]

140 isn't that heavy, I'm sure most men would b able to.

[Anonymous]

Yeah, that's somewhat heavier than me though lol
Shoulders no problem, easy for a long time
In arms, a lot shorter time, that's heavy for my lttle arms ^^
Sack of potatoes style, same as shoulders, easy.
Piggyback with my arms supporting probably the same as in my arms, maybe less, the posture isn't that comfortable.

[Asker]

Loled @sack of potato style 😂

[SuccessfulHornDog]

Yes. I can employ many different methods. The easiest is the fireman rescue carry over my shoulder. The can last the longest.

Next, I can pick them up with two hands like I am going to carry them over the threshold. That is the second longest.

Thirdly, I can pick them up with either arm and press them against my body. This is harder because it only uses one arm and if I try to walk with her in this method she is pressed against my body so she would be an impediment.

The last of the main methods is what my grandmother calls the bowling ball carry. This is hard on the hand and forearms but is quite romantic when used to pick her up to adjust her on the bed. I find it necessary to use both hands and arms for this lift. One assumes the bowling ball grip and then the other arm goes under her back or shoulders to take the brunt of the weight

[Xcommunicated]

I can lift and carry 140lbs easily.
I’d carry my girl over the threshold as the romantic choice pic 2
over the shoulder is a more playful and dominant choice pic 3

the fireman carry is possibly the longest carry (between that and 3).
I have to lift heavy things on and off all day for work and my farm. doing it a couple of times for short durations is not very hard. Doing it over and over for long durations being gentle that takes strength.

[xXiTacoXx]

I'm not a dude, but I could lift someone that heavy.

[blue_sun]

I can lift my friend who is 125 pounds, so probably, but it would be tough.

I'm not really sure how long I'd be able to carry them, but under pressure, I'd say that I could do a non-trivial distance.

[Asker]

What about which style do you think you'll be able to carry that person? Yup, I actually expected a lot of guys to say they wouldn't be able to carry her for a long time

[blue_sun]

It would depend on the situation. If it was just us being playful, then any of these except number four.

If she were unconcious but not severely physically injured, I'd probably do like number four. If she were injured but concious, probably number two. If she were injured and unconcious, probably also number two.

(It would depend on how exactly she was hurt.)

I've never lifted weights seriously, so even though I am very strong because of my build (6'0, very broad shoulders), I probably couldn't go super far.

[IUdude]

For sure!! I've been working out with a trainer for 2 1/2 months, so doing that would be pretty easy.

[Asker]

That's great! What've you been training for?

[IUdude]

Just training to get buff, so bigger arms, chest, abs, etc.

[MaybeNot1]

Scott is now carrying a much lighter girl (in years) compared to Kourtney.

[Asker]

Answer the question! 😬😝

[DodgersGM]

Most guys can, yeah. I'd reckon that the 160 lb. mark is where it starts getting more difficult.

[Asker]

140lbs.. Okay I'll take note of that. :)

[Asker]

160*

[SmoMan]

Back or shoulders? sure, in my arms? not nearly as long.

[Asker]

Cool! How long do you think you'll be able to last before you'd need to release her?

[SmoMan]

Not sure, I have had to carry 120 pounds of cinder block for a good 3-5ish minutes before setting them down and a girl with another 20 pounds would be distributed much more evenly so probably pretty similar.

[Asker]

Oh wow 3-5 minutes is a pretty long time. Good for you :) 👍

[SmoMan]

A lot longer on my back. I have done a good 30 miles with a 50 pound backpack at high elevation across three days so a 140 pound girl? assuming I could get comfortable with her on my back I could probably go for an hour if not more.

[Asker]

An hour? Dayum boy it would be an insult to ask you the "do you even lift bro" question

[SmoMan]

I am not in the best shape I have been in but I do try to take care of my body and I stay active.

[Asker]

Good for you :)! You're doing right with your body by taking care of it

[SmoMan]

It's the only one I have, it would be my own fault if something happened to it.

[Asker]

True. We don't get a second chance if we mess up with this one

[SmoMan]

Not yet at least. Although I have seen some interesting ideas in the whole body transplant procedure, and human cybernetics but we are not quite there yet.

[Phoenix98]

Yeah lol, all you need is strong legs and back, decent stabilizer muscles that's about it.

[Asker]

In all the different ways shown in the pics above? For how long?

[Phoenix98]

1,2,3,5 are the ones I'd be able to do with likely.

[Mcminamins123]

No sweat... I just hope she isn't too tall... I love curves! ;)

[Asker]

Nice :).

[zagor]

WTF? Some just posted asking if guys thought they could carry a 127 lb girl. What, are we working our way up, eliminating people as we go?

[Asker]

I reassure you the person who asked the other question isn't me. Also I just genuinely want to know if men can lift a 140lbs girl. Please answer the question :)

[blessed1]

yes ! living and awake people are easy to lift... not if she is resisting to be lifted :D

[Anonymous]

I'm 118 lbs but I reckon I'd be able to carry you easily.

[Asker]

Really? Cool! Anon can lift lol

[Opinion Owner]

Actions speak louder than words. :P

[Iron_Man]

Lets just say I can pick up and walk around a 300 pound girl

[Asker]

Good for you

[Roth8878]

Sure. My sister weighs 120 and I always carry her all around the beach either piggyback rides or shoulder sit rides. She's real easy for me to carry for a long way and a long time.

[Averageguy713]

Yes I can!!!
I weigh 65 kg and I was able to lift a girl weighing 67 kg on multiple occasions.
Craddle carrying was little difficult but got used to it later...😄

[apart]

Of course, it is natural touch do so... Love to cradle you and of hang you over my shoulder... But anyhow i think a girl lifting and carrying a boy is more impressive

[jasco]

i don't know aven't tried it but i do need to work out more anyway so eh

[Theguywhomadeurday]

All the carrying styles possible.
But it's bit heavy.
