Lifting Odd Objects -- My Wife

The hardest squat of my life was when I was wrestling with my 250-some lbs brother at about age 16 and he tried to put me down by jumping across my shoulders. Total bust-a-gut 1RM.

this thread needs pictures… Come on guys. I’ll see what I can do.

You seem to be leaving out grip work. If this were the Sex & Male Animal forum, I would suggest the 6-pack carry, but since this isn’t that thread, I will refrain from such crass jokes;=)

I like to do one-arm overhead presses with my 4 and 7 year old kids. They grab my supinated hand with both their hands and I torque them up overhead. I also do tri extensions with them up there but it’s hard on their grips.

Wife Deadlifts against bands

This motion is performed the same way as the regular dead lift. The only difference is you will be pulling against a combination of bands and wife. Set the bands up so there is tension on the bands as soon as the wifeleaves the floor. The JS Sump platform is being used and is the best way we have found to do this movement. This is best done as a max effort movement but can be used for speed dead lifts with around 50 to 60 percent.

Hah, that reminds me of the “rodeo”:

Come in doggy-style, grab her ass, and then whisper in her ear “Your ass is huge” and see how long you can hold on. Burns 5,000-50,000 calories. Can lead to death.
