Re: Doll weight
Doing bedroom poses is hard as well, but certain ones where she is on all fours - wrists can get wrecked and knees too. I like the heavier dolls, but the risks to damage are tough to bare. In some of the promo pics I have seen of the infamous BBW hooded doll, it must have taken a few people to do that. My wife cannot help every weekend, so I use whichever doll I can manage by myself.
For that reason, I prefer 60lb or less..
If your back is weak, I would recommend lower back training first and also get the arms strengthened to handle the weight.

Re: Doll weight
I noticed that no one mentioned the bridal carry bend the legs 90 degrees and do the same with the knees then if you can bend her waist a little, but one arm under the knees and the other somewhere on the back and then lift. I hope that is the correct way but I know others will correct me if I'm wrong

Re: Doll weight
Also, move her around without her head attached- as that can shave off 5+ lb..

Re: Doll weight
It sounds like the OP went with a big butt model. So a good portion of that weight will be low and centered close to your body. Don't let it scare you.
Take the precautions listed above. And forgive me for making the point every time the question come up: get a weight-lifter's belt to help you with proper technique.
Re: Doll weight
Seriously? You're talking about dead lifting nearly 3 quarters your own body weight. Weight that comes in a very soft and fragile unbalanced package with nothing solid to hold onto. Get something smaller. Especially if this is your 1st doll....Mannybird wrote:Any body know if a doll that is 107 pounds 5'4 good idea for me im 5'6 and 150 pounds any experience of it being heavy

Re: Doll weight
But, what are you getting a doll for?
Some people just keep their dolls in bed 24 7.
Some take them on road trips.
Depending on what you have in mind, will determine just how difficult she will be to deal with.
My Zeni's +100lb weight for me in bed, is never a problem.
But, moving her from room to room, posing her standing and sitting, now that can be a problem.
Re: Doll weight
My first doll was 70 pounds and I quickly realized that 70 pounds was my max. Any doll above that weight is going to have to stay a fantasy for me.

Above, I gave advice regarding weightlifter's belts. In the interest of public health, I now state that advice was incorrect. I apologize.089 wrote:Bridal carry is a correct way -- meaning safe for you and your doll -- for moving that much weight around.

1. Weightlifter's belts do NOT protect against back injury. Only proper strength training of the lower back, and proper lifting techniques can do that.
2. Although I believe wearing the belt reminds me to maintain proper form, there is no scientific evidence that it does so (CDC: https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/docs/94-127/default.html) Thank you, dwaynel2.
Given the points above, I can no longer recommend use of a weightlifter's belt. The chance that someone would use one in place of proper training is too great. And with training, there is no evidence that the belt is needed.
