How hard it is to lift a girl over your head?

Question

Let's say you are standing facing me and I'm standing as well, how hard would it be to lift me off the ground all the way up in the air over your head by using only two hands with 0 body contact? I'm 114 lbs

Would it be possible to balance me?

A man with a few months of strength training can comfortably press 114 pounds over his head, so your weight alone is a non-issue. There are a couple different ways your body could be oriented that impact the difficulty here.

1. The "basic press" - his hands are under your armpits and your feet stay facing the floor
- I've lifted girls heavier than you like this with no cooperation whatsoever. Doing it with no body contact is unlikely though - our stomachs would likely rub together at some point. Otherwise, you'd be too far away, and very few men can support that amount of torque - 114 starts to feel like 200 if the center of gravity is far away. This is the easiest way to do it, but I don't consider it a true overhead lift because your feet barely cross my waist-level.

2. Dirty dancing movie style - hands at the waist, and at the top, your body is perpendicular to the lifter's.
- This is where balance becomes a major issue. Most people can't do this because they never get the woman's center of gravity right, and she rolls off either in front of or behind the lifter.

3. "Gorilla press" like you see in wrestling - with your body horizontal - the lifter supports your upper body in one hand and lower body in the other. You could be face-up, with his hands under your glutes and upper back, face-down, with his hands on your chest and between your thighs, or sideways, with one hand on your ribcage and another, again, between your thighs.
- This is easier to balance than the dirty dancing lift, but a little more complex than the basic press. If you allow the man to first lift you onto his back (your body draped across his shoulders), he can use his legs to cheat and make the overhead press significantly easier. I pulled this off while flirting with a girl even though I wasn't a weightlifter at the time. I was a 185-pound soccer player, she was 5'4 and weighed maybe 140. Piece of cake. Give it a try if you've got a good partner!

Easy. I use to pick up guys that were 285-295 pounds over my head and slam them on the ground when they were using all their strength and ability to wiggle free when I use to wrestle when I was younger. The last large object I picked up was a 350 LB wood chipper a back in September. Someone helped me load it into the back of a truck, but when I had to unload it I was alone and was able to handle that pretty easily. Heavy voluminous objects are much hard to handle than say 350 LB of weights on a bar bell. I can pick up and leg press much more weight than that.

How much do you weigh? My girlfriend is about 115 pounds and she is no problem. If you were pushing 300…. Well that would be a problem.

I have a shoulder that is messed up and I probably could not do this. Back in the day I had a girlfriend who was a little heavier than you and I used to do this to her sometimes.

I'll drop a snake in front of you, and you'll lift yourself. No hands required... = easy, presumably 😄

Women are an awkward shape for lifting. I would probably have to use the Trump method. If you don't know, don't ask.

Possibly, how tall are you?
