Is ito do with different muscle groups ?

i dont think you'll get an answer to your question from her so i'll give it a shot to help u out :
when you lift boxes, i guess you both used mostly arm strength? from her losing to u in armwrestling its obvious you have stronger arms (im assuming you both had equally good/bad techniques at arm-w). lifting someone usually requires strength in more parts than just the arms. Perhaps she has bigger leg strength than you and can thus carry you longer than you can carry her? depends on the type of lifts as well.
