Improv cuteness or animal abuse ?

I'm talking about simple things like curls, rows, raises etc.

    I have gotten a towel and ran it under my daughter's armpits and used her body weight to arm curl. She loves it, lol.

    My dogs on the other hand hare both 60+ lb boxers... Don't think that would work very well.

    My cat would claw me to death and then piss on my dead body. No thank you.

    haha i think it's cute! i would try it on my 60lb pittie but she is too wiggly. i do, however, use my 25 lbs 2 year old daughter as a weight when i do goblet squat and "kid-bell" swings

    I curl, bench press, dead lift, and OHP my cats. I thoroughly enjoyed it. They did not. I didn't care :laugh:

    ETA: spidercat is also acceptable.

    I tried to bench press my boxer... didn't go over too well. He's much too wiggly. :)

    Oh sure it would. I've had boxers for ages and they get a kick out of it! I do full arm curls and bench presses with my boxers. :)

    I'll admit that I've done that before with my cat. She's pretty long so I get decent form considering the shape. xD If you put her in front of a window, she doesn't get annoyed as easily, especially if there are birds.

    Funny you mention. I just did squats last night while holding my 37lb mini bull terrier. She seemed to enjoy it since she just relaxed in my arms, and today my legs are sore! Win/win.

    I also use my son's body weight for legs.

    I use my kid as a weight for at home squats. When she was smaller I could swing her like a kettlebell. (gently of course) :smile:
