Done it once or twice in MMA gyms too. It can be rough if you're too slow and end up paired with the heavyweight. Maybe we could do a team workout consisting of something like: 400m fireman's carry 400m wheelbarrow walk 800m piggyback run to the finish line! (Partners swapping as required to complete the workout for time) Could be nasty if someone took a spill after fatiguing on the fireman's carry though.

It'd be easier from behind the neck, since it's bloody hard to hold a human in the front rack position. What's Amy doing this saturday? (apart from avoiding the gym if she reads this...)

I'll also push-pressed someone, although it was ugly (the push-press, not her). About 60kg I think. My max at the time was probably around 75kg too, so take from that what you will.

Maybe some day do a bear complex with a person? Or even do it with a bear for shits and giggles? A small one like, a cub or somesuch. Shane, you like Killinascully? It comes and goes for me. My family is from that area so I know half the guys the characters are based on but some of the time it just seems to be "haha, listen to the way they talk" type of humor. Then again there are some classic moments (The Philippino priest bit back in the day was hilarious, or anything with Pa Connors). With that, I'm off to strain the spuds.

The better your technique is, the closer you'll get to the 30 mark. People are a little harder on account of the uneven weight distribution, and the ones that are light enough to lift overhead have a tendency to giggle and wriggle around the place, complicating things further. Hard to offer decent estimates, but I can tell you that I was able to push press my 55ish kg sister fairly easily back when my press was about 75kg. The overhead squat was the hard part...that took a few attempts. A co-operative 50kg person would probably be doable with a 60kg press, balancing the feckers when you get them up there is the hard part. Get a spotter in front and behind when you eventually try this. Shane - He played it for laughs as much as possible, but he'd pretty limited material to work with. To my shame I've never seen Killnascully (no external TV in my house). Must get myself the dvds for christmans. D'Video and D'Telly were 2 of my favourite things ever.
