I could have done it easily before my knees got ruined, but there was plenty of weight training when I was younger that got me to that point. I could do it now but I wouldn’t be walking for a week after that.
So could you pick up and carry anyone that weighed 200 lbs. for 50 meters using a fireman’s carry?
I definitely could have a few years ago with absolutely no issue. I probably still could, but I’d be wary of causing lasting damage to my knees and shoulder.
Not a problem.
Matter of fact, I did that very thing not less than eight months ago in a stage play. Each night… carried a guy off the stage, up the aisle through the audience, and out of the opening of the theatre.
Is the load unconscious, conscious and resisting, or conscious and cooperating? I’m pretty sure I could do the carrying part, it’s the lifting part I’m worried about.
Before my back went to hell? Probably. I did 130-140 with no problems on a couple of occasions. Now? Hell no. Don’t particularly want to go through the cortisone injection process again.
I’m pretty sure I could. Getting them over my shoulder would be tricky but if they were able to co-operate I think I could do the carrying part once I got them up.
I was seeing a girl once who weighed about 160 lbs. She liked it when I carried her on my shoulder, I’m sure I could do that for 50 meters assuming my knees weren’t injured. An extra 40 pounds probably wouldn’t matter much.
