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


    ^^ This. My cat would not approve. My one year old loves being bench pressed though.

    Haha I have an 80 pound English Bulldog, wouldn't work too well for me, but if your pet allows you too then have fun :)

    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 kids love being weights.

    My kids too. They say, "Mommy, can I be your weights?"

    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.

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

    Cutest thing ever!

    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:

    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.

    LoL, one of my cat's is named "Spider", because when he was a kitten he would walk along the drop ceiling in the basement.

    No, it's not abuse, just creative. They actually have doggy yoga (yoga you do with your dog), YouTube it.

    I use my bigger cat to do bench presses when we're snuggling on the bed, but he's barely 15 lbs, so that's nothing.

    My 15 pound Jack Russell rides the Pilates machine when I am on it. I figure it is extra resistance.

    Only if you drop them at the top of a lift. Then they're very cross.

    I use my kittehs as weights all the time. I like to think their struggling helps me gain strength.

    i believe cats would actually eat your dead body, but maybe not if they hated you enough :bigsmile:

    i use my GSD for resistance training a lot - he calls it tugging. but he's the all round gym, there's interval training (running for kong), endurance, and personal 'motivation' or 'coaching' (are we going? it's time. whack - edit: it's him whacking me with the end of the toy, if i hit him, i'd lose an arm).
    since i have to get him ready for the next vet visit, i also lift him onto tables and boxes and the like. 80lb resisting deadlift anyone? :tongue:
