"In Dublin's fair city where the girls are so pretty I first laid my eyes on sweet Molly Malone. She wheeled her wheelbarrow through streets broad and narrow, singing cockles and mussels, alive a live O."
Ok, it sounds complicated but it really isn't. Your partner gets down on all fours. You are going to sit down on their back but instead of facing forward like riding a horse, you are going to sit facing the other direction (toward their feet).Inspired by Brandon Ruiz, I thought that Buddy Lifts need some attention. The only equipment you really need is a friend. Preferably a friend that roughly weighs the same as you (or less if you happen to be a beginner to strength training). Even if you're a seasoned weight lifter, still start with someone that is approximately the same weight as you. Regardless if you can dead-lift or back-squat twice your body weight, you will want to start with a lighter weight since it is a "live" weight, which can be awkward.- Take care of your partner! They trust you and they should have every reason to do so. It's simple; if you can't carry their weight, then don't lift them.>From here, stand up straight lifting your partner into the air and slightly load the weight onto your chest by putting your hips firmly beneath you.- Walk for distance - Perform Lunges - Perform Squats5) Partner PlyometricsOnce you feel comfortable with carrying live weight, you can add these lifts into the mix.- Lift only insofar as you can maintain perfect form. Once your form degrades due to fatigue or if the load is too heavy, then please immediately stop and call it a day.Your partner raises their legs (so their posture is shaped like an "L") and you push their feet hard forward and toward the ground. They resist and try not to let their feet hit the ground. They bring their legs up again and you push them back to the ground.
