Rachel's Lift & Carry Updates

I am hesitant to do a long duration lift competition video because I can hold a liftee in a piggyback or shoulder lift for like 45 minutes and if we do a multiple lift competition, they may be like a 5 hour clip and I try to keep my clips at no more than 12 minutes. This is something I envision more like a custom video request.

Yes I would like to see front lifts like the one in my Avatar. You can hold liftee for 45 minutes at stretch. I just cant believe it. Thats unbelievable. But anything is possible when you start lifting people. Maybe then I will try long duration clips with u in custom shoot sometime.

Rachel, I'd love to see the sort of front lift Ganju is asking for too. Not a front straddle but the sort of lift that is in his avatar right now. It's an easyish one!

Hope to see my suggestion soon (ie. much heavier girl tosses you around!). At your 135, it shouldn't be too difficult to find someone heavier!

Hello Ganju,
I actually had a chance to work with a phenomal femalevolunteer that I was easily able to lift like that, and hopefully with have an opportunity to incorporate it even more as I build my repetoire of lifts.

you can makeup for it by getting a heavier person. ex - if you can do 45min with 150lb then try 200lb and it will surely be way shorter. then you can still sell the clip for general lift and carry audience while still satisfying the "longest you can hold" crowd.

The vid released with Rachel lifting a 215 pounder had him in a front straddle while doing deep squats and calf raises and she held him up for good time. I don't think 50 pounds would drop her time much for straddle or piggy unless it was a cradle carry.

Hi Winniethebeer,
I tend to max out on my lifting ability at about 245lbs because that is about as heavy as my frame can handle, and I am still able to hold an individual that size in several lifts for up to 10 or 15 minutes.

As far as the "general lift and carry" vs. "the duration single carry" audience, i try my very best to cater as best as possible to everyone. And quite frankly, it would be a heck of a lot easier to make all of my videos with a 120 lbs volunteer, but what fun would that be? I can't see the majority of the general lift and carry public relating to that... Just my 2 cents!
