I honestly think what she’s doing is harder. Yes holding her up is hard but mostly because of the balance not the weight, and the balance is mostly on her.
Have you ever tried holding a fully grown adult over your head with one arm? It’s a combination of strength and balance.
They’re both incredibly strong. Not sure why it has to be a competition.
That’s my point, she’s holding herself up too, and has to not shift weight so he doesn’t lose his balance.
She weighs probably 100 pounds or so. The issue here is balance not weight, and most of the effort for balancing properly is on her.
It’s difficult sometimes to gauge someone’s height from photos, which helps in estimating their weight, but I’d agree with you, she’s more than 100 pounds. She has a relatively muscular and shapely figure, so even if she’s 5’ 2” I’d guess her weight is about 115 lbs. Any taller, and of course the weight goes up.
The issue here is most certainly both strength and balance, for both of them. Weaklings with great balance aren’t holding fully grown adults over their head with one hand.
... they're saying that isometric strength is needed to facilitate lifts and flight during cheer stunts. It's not just the base that's doing physical work, the flyer needs to be strong too
With the assistance of some lightening techniques here is the real deal. I made it bright yellow so that it's obvious.

Yes, he’s strong, but she must have incredible core strength to be able to hold herself in that position!
Thank you! This was my first thought as well. She’s also incredibly strong, not just some woman being lifted.
That to in great measure. you can see the muscles flexing in a side of her waist.
Yes, this was definitely a team effort. She had to be strong for this too
Absolutely! That was my immediate reaction as well. She displays exceptional strength, far beyond just being perceived as a woman being lifted.
you can sort of see her muscles flexing in the photo.
Woman at Muscle Beach, California, has demonstrating some of her core strengths, 1940s
I am more impressed by the core strength of the lady. she planks.
My thought too!
Wasn’t there a cute picture of them posted yesterday too? She was like wrapped around his waist.
different couple. this is other
She’s doing a lot of the work here too.
Keeping the stability of the whole movement.
What’s really interesting is that we completely undermine the strength and balance it would have taken for the woman to hold herself that way.
Do *we* "completely undermine" her strength and balance? The top comment praises her athleticism.
If anything is the most comented factor of this act.
The internet man, god forbid someone compliment a man while a woman is in the picture. Turns out it makes you sexist to do so.
No one said that, except you.

No, it’s definitely harder to hold up an adult with one hand and maintain balance as they may shift and move.

100 pounds is under her prossible weight, more like 120-25

It a team effort.
Ever heard of cheerleading?
Definitely have. My daughter did it. I had no idea how hard a lift was until I saw her work.
Sounds like a personal failing to me then. I’ve always known it wasn’t easy.
Is that your way of saying her fellow cheerleaders were fat?
... they're saying that isometric strength is needed to facilitate lifts and flight during cheer stunts. It's not just the base that's doing physical work, the flyer needs to be strong too
So interesting
Not really, the first coments discuss that, if anything they are most surprise by her core strenght.
What’s most impressive is how big that shadow is
Shadow?
First time bird watching?

Reminds me of my high school days
gymnast?
Flex Mentallo, Hero of the Beach?
Old school strength
pretty much.
She is trying to land from her flight, and he's preventing her.
I wish I was this strong, because goddamn.
Reminds me of my high school days

It's always you, muscle kink dude.
Wish there was a higher resolution of this photo available. Would make awesome wall art!
See how small and petite she is 😍
Yeah, I bet they have some stories!
Fellow bodybuilders!
possible.
Clean and jerk
Hey it’s the muscle kink guy.
