What's the heaviest you've been when someone lifted you?

85kg.
She was less than 60kg and lifted me front, fireman, shoulder sit, cradle. And she did it with ease.

Somewhat muscular, but never did weight training.
This is her:

Wow! After reading some of these, now I'm curious. Personally, am quite into piggybacks, but have not unfortunately actualized yet. I hover around 230-240 atm (unsuccessfully on the weight loss grind :/), and I'm incredulous at the thought of a girl being able to piggyback me. If we had to strongly generalize, about how much times her weight could an average girl piggyback (AKA can i get one)? And for the heavier folks, do you find it more awkward trying to ask a lift, as the girl might be intimidated or discomforted at the thought of lifting someone heavy? Just trying to glean some advice

After many, many piggybacks I'd say the average girl can - without too much difficulty - handle 1,5-1,7 times her own weight. Once you cross "twice as big as her"-territory it gets VERY difficult to even get a ride, let alone her trying to go for as long as she can.

Usually, it's the girl's arms that gives up after a while much more than her back or legs.

I think this is a realistic rule of thumb. However, the absolute weight of the lifter/liftee is somewhat of a factor too. Smaller girls are relatively stronger. More 110 lbs women will be able to piggyback 220 lbs, than there are 150 lbs women able to piggyback 300 lbs.

You can see the same effect in Strength level standards. For example, a woman of 90 pounds can deadlift her own bodyweight in the Novice category, while a woman of 160 gets no further as 0.92 times her bodyweight. The same pattern applies to women for other weightlifting disciplines.

I'm actually slightly bigger than you and have gotten quite a few piggybacks. Often a good way to get one when you're a bigger guy is to bait a girl by saying there's no way she could possibly lift you. Some girls see that as a challenge and then will basically demand to prove they can.

That's definitely very encouraging How much did the girls who lifted you weigh? And were those rides pretty difficult/short, or were they pleasantly long?

It's varied. I think the smallest woman who's lifted me was about 120lbs, and she was able to piggyback me easily.

But I've also been lifted by more amazonian women like Rapture, and she was able to do a lot more with me like squat me and lift me across her shoulders.

I was at my heaviest around just under 260lbs and my girlfriend at her heaviest was about 123lbs, but even at her lightest 110lbs she pretty effortlessly can piggyback me for a really long time, or run around or spin me while piggybacking me.

To be honest I never would have thought when i 1st met her she could ever lift me at all. It never really crossed my mind, until it happened.
