My wife is 5’2 180 lbs. She’s got a big butt and wide shoulders with DD’s. I’m 5’9 170 lbs. She has put on a lot of weight and it’s nice to be the lighter one now. She also lifts weights. It’s easier for her to lift me than me trying to lift her.

i dont think height matters. what matters is how fit the other person is. if they go to the gym then height definitely won't matter. if it's only down to natural strength, then i'd say that height might matter a bit (only for those who are short). But to be honest, i've seen weak tall people and i've seen strong short people (naturally strong, that is)

It depends on genetics. I had a friend 5,10 and about 200lbs and she had no natural power as it seemed to be. My another friend, quite lean and short had much more energy and strength.

Height matters because their height in comparison to you will affect the centre of gravity in the situation.

If you were 5"2 and 170lbs, you would be harder to lift than if you were 5"8 and 170lbs. This is definitely applicable any shoulder carry, and probably a few of the others, although it depends on the height difference between the lifter and the liftee. The shorter girl should fare better in a fireman carry situation, in theory.

This is only in theory though. That's where the thread comes in, your experiences might dump all over it.

In my experience, it all depends on their "trunk". Girls with wider trunks/thick core areas can support more weight. Height has never really made difference 4 my lifts.
