A question about squats and shoulder rides

[forevernow]

Lets say a woman can squat 135 lbs, does that mean she can give a shoulder ride to a 135 weighing person? Is it harder or easier?

I'm not sure but it would probably be harder because it's easier to balance the bar on your shoulders

I would say easier to give a shoulder ride. Simply holding the weight on shoulders with the legs locked out is easier than squatting the weight.

[Athletic l&c]

If she can do real squats (for approved in competition it's at least hip joint below knee joint) she can give a shoulder ride.

That's a good point, I was thinking about if she'd squat the person too
