How many of you guys can do the wife press?

Mine would be about 50kg! Though if I were to try to move her six feet, it would be down, not up

My wife is 70kg odd so not sure if I could manage this although she is no fatty (currently training for figure competitions and squatting 140kg!!!) so man points hopefully not too affected!!!!

I'm buggered as my wife is a power lifter  and weighs 65kg and I Weigh 78kg. I can outrun her though [emoji23]

PSM1

Same here. She can not catch me but in trouble if she ever does manage it!!! [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

Well guys I've not been pushing myself too hard because of Christmas, new year and the inevitable cold but I just got 42.5kg for 5x8 without too much trouble. I'm not at my goal yet but I'm on the way.

Maybe encourage your wife to lose weight? Might be easier

Are we talking two hands here?

The Mrs is about 50kg and there’s not a cat in hells chance she’ll let me pick her up above my head.

I’m 120kg and could press her equivalent 30 or 40 times on a bar or log. Bodies are different though, the instability makes it a lot harder.

is that a theory?!!
not a chance, i've no strength in my arms
tried to go across a set of those horizontal ladders recently in a play park and my arms nearly came off!
