      I mean, 100lb isn’t all that much for a man in ok shape if proper form is used (and he’s using proper form).

      I’m not ripped by any means, and I know I can hold a minimum of 90lb one handed without leaning (the max my power blocks go to).

      If you can do a pull-up, you can do this.

        I’d argue that he only needs to hold that position for seconds.

        He’s standing with his back fairly straight, and is supporting some of her weight on his thighs. The natural way to hold a weight like that is bent elbow, held close to the body.
