What is the maximum weight limit anyone can carry?
Thankfully, there are extensive industry recommendations out there, to help managers implement safe, tested manual handling lifting limits. According to legal manual handling guidelines, the maximum safe lifting weight for a woman is 16kg. And for men, the maximum safe lifting weight is 25kg. Common guidelines suggest that when two people lift an object, they should not exceed 2/3 of their combined lifting capacity. For instance, if two women are lifting together, the maximum safe weight is around 21kg. For two men, this limit is approximately 33kg, see above chart as reference.Thankfully, there are extensive industry recommendations out there, to help managers implement safe, tested manual handling lifting limits.

Advanced lifters often hip thrust 135-225+ pounds (61-102+ kg). At this level, women are likely focusing on progressive overload to continue building muscle and strength.
