But in all seriousness... (no pun intended), they say comedy/humor is the best way to "test the waters" with girls, in general.

I firmly believe this to hold true with LC stuff as well.

...Got to casually ask in jest and fun, not solemnly (e.g. not in a creepy way!)

Success My friends ... At Last !!

I asked her to stand on all fours on bed and crouched up on her back, so she was able to support my body on all fours , she realized she had not much problems

then we tried donkey ride and she was sucessfull in holding my weight too !!! though it was on bed and I was too scared to sit longer or ask her to take a ride

I tried piggyback with her supporting herself on bed and was sucessfull to some extent , looks like a little time practising and she could piggyback me fine

anyways she picked me up for a split second from behind yesterday on her own !! , things are looking good

First of all - congradulations Rickishi!

As for LC - your wife seems small, try not to strain her too much. (look at my signiture whoch is here from the beggining)

I wud say do not hurry in to it........she is ur wife now, so u have big time on ur hand.......let her njoi the new relationship n along with tht u can slowly push in ur liking for lift n carry........make her feel comfortable with u.make her like u more.....n automatically she will keep doing wht u like, evn whn u dnt ask her.......n ya do nt keep pestering her........jess keep it cool, I wud suggest u lifting her for time being n have fun..........n ya its better tht she puts on weight, coz at 70 u r normal weight........anything lesser than this will be gud for lifts bt bad for u lol.........so try out diff n funny ways of getting lift rather than directly askin her......or she may feel tht thts the only thing u want 4m her......n I have seen 4m past exp tht gals do put on weight during 1st few months of marriage n u knw y.........so keep it slow bt steady n make it enjoyable ride for both of u

...sure, take it slow and steady and casually...

But eventually, ... there is such thing as LC positions for "doin' it", which in theory, may be the ultimate LC experience for a married couple (at least 1/2 the couple... e.g. you).

Though, there are caviots , it's still quite "fun" once you've figured it out.
And if you can make her enjoy the experience too, her energy kicks in and it's great (instead of her acting like it's too difficult and she's suffering and is just doing you a favor and just want to stop).

How about we save this topic for the "advanced class" --lol.

I guess the advanced class will have to wait for a while

Though my L&C is progressing with my wife at a very snails pace , there are a few things which are bothering me....

Does prolonged L&C cause serious back problems to my wife at later stage ?
I mean maybe after she reaches middle ages she could suffer from worn out joints or permanent back pain and stuff ...

Also there could also effect their biological cycles ....

I would be really grateful if I could get some input from any women who have experience in L&C stuff

You are too funny! Such questions!

About hte slow progress, that's fine. She's your wife. You have "eternity", not a 1 hour session!

Afterall, it's "till death do us part, not till lift do us part".


Per your long term health questions, I am not a girl, nor an MD, but I do know a little about exercise (little meaning more than a little, but less than a lot).

So 1st, you say, "prolonged LC". What do you mean by that?
Is she carrying you all the time now? Or do you mean, prolonged as in a little here and there from now until...

Exercise is healthy and actually strengthens everything related int he body, as long as it's done correctly.

So any lifting should be done at the right, healthy, levels, and heavier weight built up to. The risk of too much weight too before she is ready means risking an injury, which IS something that can plague her in later life.

In my "recreational MD" opinion, for what little that may be worth, I would keep the exercises simple. DOn't push her beyond her comfort limit. Work up to "better" things.

I don't see harm in simple stuff liek PB's, as long as your not so heavy on her that she is straining anything.
Let's say she tries to squat you during a PB.
I think her leg strength will dictate what she can and can't do long before she would be looking at knee injury.
On the other hand, if she tries a squat and her legs collapse and you both fall, if she falls wrong or you fall on her, or something along those lines... That would be most unfortunate, so you should certainly exercise caution.

Imagine someone who wanted to be a body builder, but never trained at all, going to a gym, cold, and attempting with all his might to lift his max.
Sure he can easily injure himself, and depending on what and how severe the injury, it may be the end of his never started body building career, or can catch up with him later in life.
Ont he other hand, the pro that trains his body make his body much stronger in every way and the result is the opposite.

That's the distinction between building you body vs. wearing it out.

So just progress with LC slowly with common sense...

On another note, how does your wife feel?
Is she comfortable, or are you pushing her?


Again, just my opinions.

She sounds like a great girl!! Send her over to me here in the UK and I will send you back a lift and carry diva!!!
