Q&A for How to Carry a Girl

The fireman's carry is great for picking up someone heavier than you! Thread your arm around the crook of their right knee, and rest their torso across your shoulders. Then, lift with your legs!

Ask her permission first, so she knows what to expect. Then, keep your hands on her legs and back to avoid any awkward touching.

Bend down in a squat, have her jump onto your back or shoulders, and hold her legs. Lean forward for support. Be cautious when straightening up with her weight on your back so you don't hurt yourself.

The fireman style would probably not be the best. I suggest bridal style instead, which is the first lift shown, as it would perhaps be easier on her tummy.

If she's okay with it, tell the other people to mind their own business. If anything is making her uncomfortable, put her down right away. Keep in mind that it is inappropriate to carry someone around in certain situations, like church, school, etc. Don't try this anywhere you're supposed to be serious and focused on something else.

A fireman's carry is best when running since her weight is distributed over your shoulders and you can have a hand free to balance yourself if you pick her up correctly. Since the weight is on your shoulders you are more balanced overall since you aren't front heavy (carrying her in front of you) or unbalanced on either side as badly as just throwing her over your one shoulder. A fireman carry is a carry used by various armed forces to get people out of conflict quickly if they cannot walk.

This varies from person to person. It depends on your own body weight and how strong you are.

This way of carrying a girl is usually called "bridal style." It is the most common way for a man to carry a woman.

The method referred to as "bridal style"is the first method presented in this tutorial.

If the child is able to walk, you should insist that they walk. If the child is disabled you should use a stroller or carrier.

If she is okay with you doing it, or if it is a medical emergency, simply follow the steps in this article.

Bridal style, like in the first method. Put one of your arms under the person's legs and your other arm behind the back.

Squats and deadlifting should help a lot, because the fireman carry mostly uses your back and legs.

They're just two different terms for the same type of carry.

It depends on how strong you are, but I recommend trying the bridal carry, which is Method 1 in the article.

Push-ups, pull-ups, bench dips, and triceps extensions will help - anything that works your upper arms, but also your legs, which you are using to lift her.

If he's your boyfriend, you should feel comfortable telling him what you want. Just ask, "Will you hold me?" I'm sure he'll say yes.

That depends on how much the girl weighs and how strong you are. Make sure you have her permission before you try, and use the techniques in the article so you don't hurt yourself.

There are many, but mainly your glutes, quads, back muscles and hamstrings.

Do squats to build leg muscle, as well as back, core, and arm exercises. Also, make sure to stretch so you won't sprain anything.

By asking her, of course. It is totally fine as long as both of you want it.Try using some easier carrying styles, like piggyback.

Anybody can lift another person with their consent. This article was made by someone keeping lifting a girl in mind. These steps apply to lifting a boy too, if need be.
