STAND
AND CARRY

How To Actually Do It (Without Hurting Anyone)

1. 01
   Find your wall
   For the smart version: pick a sturdy wall. Not a closet door. Not a bookshelf. An actual wall. The wall is going to be doing about half the work. Pick one with no decor in the way and ideally near a bed in case things slide downward.
2. 02
   Lift up
   Receiver jumps slightly while wrapping their legs around the givers waist. Giver catches under the receivers thighs and pulls them in. This is the moment movies cut around. In real life it takes some coordination. Giggle through it. Try again if it doesnt work the first time.
3. 03
   Pin to wall
   Step toward the wall. Press the receivers back against it. The wall now supports the receivers upper half. Givers hands shift to under the thighs or grabbing the receivers butt for control. This is the configuration that makes the position sustainable for more than 30 seconds.
4. 04
   Move with the legs, not the arms
   The thrusting motion comes from the givers legs (squat motion) not from arm lifts. Lifting with the arms burns out FAST. Squatting motions can sustain way longer. Treat each thrust like a tiny squat.
5. 05
   Have an exit plan
   Stand and Carry is a feature. NOT the main course. Plan to transition to a horizontal position when arms or legs start shaking. Walk to the bed. Lower the receiver onto it. Continue. The drama of the dismount is half the fun.

The Bottom Line

Stand and Carry is the cinematic opener. Not the show.

Use the wall. Lift with legs. Lock in the dramatic moment. Transition out gracefully. Stand and Carry exists to be the ENERGY of a session, not the duration. The 90 second version makes the rest of the session better. The 10 minute version sends one of you to the chiropractor.
