Is this unusual/safe?
I have a 12 year old boy who weighs a little less than 85 lbs, 4 foot 8. He is active and we spend time outside, but he has been sedentary for most of the winter, is not in sports, never has been, and is not visibly muscular at all. A couple months ago he started trying to squat down and lift me, about once or twice a day, at the time I weighed 185 (170 now due to keto). He could do it right off, although only about an inch off the ground. Now he can very easily lift me, fully off the ground, and it's become a daily ritual for him to show me how strong he is. It didn't really strike me as weird until the other day when we went over my sister's, who is maybe a bit lighter than me but not by much, and he picked her up. I realized it looked kinda odd for a small pale string bean like him to be lifting a full grown adult with ease, so I looked it up and I now have questions regarding how normal him being able to do that is, and whether it is safe for his little muscles and joints. I remember when I was training in judo, I weighed about 145 and could lift and carry my 180 lb sensei, but that was about a comfortable limit at the time and that was after having attended for a while. Just seems odd. Should I get him into lifting or something 😂
I'm not letting him lift me anymore for now because I realized it might be dangerous and don't want him to injure himself.
Anyway
