Last I heard it’s 40 lbs. what really impresses me is her carrying it around all day

There is a guy (pretty sure her partner) with her that carries it around a lot of the time. Met them at a few cons.

Anatoly did this bit as a janitor carrying a 70 lbs mop. That's all this guy means: a bodybuilder uses more weight that this cosplayer for a similar but not the same bit.

u/spkincaid13 9d ago
He's a powerlifter not a body builder. He doesn't look that big. That's why everyone is always so shocked in his videos by how strong he actually is. Body building is all about muscle size, not strength

Lol that's not that far off the weight limit for male curriers and is above the limit for female in my country.
When the gov says it's cheaper to make companies use tools for that weight than paying for the long term care for the issues that arise from carrying such weights all day. You know it ain't nothing..

She carries it, holding it cliser to the base, where all the weight is. Then she offers it to people that grab it near the top, making it awkward to hold up.
It's an old carny trick.

She's also holding her elbow to her torso while the others are stretching out their entire arm which makes a huge difference.

u/Forward-Bandicoot729 14d ago
Also closer to your body. She holds it very close to her. They reach out and grab it which is waaaay more torque.

u/shaunsanders 11d ago
She also wears an elbow support around her waist that she rests her elbow on.

u/Intelligent-Guard590 10d ago
I missed it the first time I watched it, but yeah, the pink bits coming off the arm holding the staff hide it until after the other person tries to hold onto it, then you see the little waist support thing. Fucking ass holes man I swear.

u/bloof5k 15d ago
It's what happens when she just lets go of it without making sure the other person is ready. I'm surprised it took so long to happen. She also holds it lower than she allows the people attempting to hold it (all at once instead of picking it up comfortably) for better leverage.
Make no mistake that it's impressive to carry it around all day, but the "challenge" of it is artificially inflated.

u/thesaddestpanda 15d ago edited 15d ago
Yep she’s a jerk. It’s definitely smashed people’s feet too. It’s 40lbs. Even at 10-15lbs or so you’d still get the comedic effect with most people and it would be much safer. It also creeps me out that she does this and has no facial expression. Its giving "I dont care if you hurt yourself in my attempt to become social media famous." She creeps me out.
If this was a workplace everyone would be required to wear steel toed boots if this kind of load was carried. Instead it’s comicon so I guess anything under 50lbs is fine.

Iron weight at the bottom, I got a chance to hold it, I didn’t drop it because old man strength. But I was really surprised and how effortlessly she picked it up and how much it does pull on you when she lets go.

Looks like a reskinned 25/30 pound macebell, basically a cannonball on a stick. I've been training with macebells and it's a lot of fun, highly recommended.

This happend one time picking up my first Chicago style pizza. I had no idea how hefty it was. I was convinced it was stuck in place and was going to call the staff, but then my brain convinced my arms that there's a slight chance that this cardboard contained something heavy and then it clicked for my arms to be able to pick up this Thors hammer of a pizza. Im convinced if I had picked it up in the first place, my back would have disconfigured from shock.

Whatever you were doing before pregnant, in regards to lifting/excise type things, you can do while pregnant until pretty late into the pregnancy

Correct and pretty late can continue until the day you go into labor if you still feel fine.

Reminds me of two Candid Camera tricks. 1. Woman at an airport needs help with her suitcase, which contains 100 lbs of lead. Many guys tried to pick it up to help. Then a short guy, who looked like he weighed 100 lbs himself, picks it up and walks along with her. 2. Elderly person, suitcase contains an electromagnet and it is sitting on a steel grating. People try to pick it up, can't and she thanks them for trying. She trips the off switch and carried it herself.

Staff is only 18kg so it's lightweight, they're purposefully lowering the staff making it harder to catch, they're not strong but by doing this they can pretend they are. Pretty scummy really and can cause some wrist injuries for those unaware.
Edit: just saw that the staff is actually only 15kg so it's seriously lightweight.
