Like you said, it might be that he doesn't shift his weight in a manner that would help her or he might just have more muscle than the other guys and thus feel heavier.

Joe and Mike were around 200.

Ok, my point remains. She didn't seem to struggle with guys that appeared much heavier than Zach whereas with Zach he gave her trouble for some reason at times.

A lot of lift and carry depends on the liftee as much as the lifter, if people don't know how to properly balance themselves it makes the lift much more difficult. I've been told by many of the ladies who lift me that in spite of the fact that I am about the largest person that they have ever lifted they find it easier lifting me than some people much smaller. It's about balance and positioning and some people just have difficulty with it.

That's true as the liftee has the ability to make life for the lifter much easier by shifting their weight in certain weights. Having said that, I would think that during the initiation process that the trainers or long timers would have trained Zach on how to work with the ladies while being lifted. It's puzzling to me because while Zach may have not been up to the same level as the other guys in regards to the knowledge as a liftee, he couldn't have been THAT far off to the point where Chloe is absolutely exhausted with him whereas with other guys she seems like she's going through a light workout.

And some of the lifts she was doing are quite straight forward and there's only so much a liftee can do to help out. I think I might have to post a comparison video so that we can get down to the bottom of it since it's a really tricky concept if its not analyzed further. But having said that, Chloe always did such a good job regardless of who she was lifting - her natural strength and frame always got her such amazing results when lifting (or the 100s of other things she would do such as wrestling, judo etc.). Just an absolute specimen.
