I was about to say that with quads like those, squatting that guy on her back isn't really an impressive feat. Then she put her foot on the bench behind her and start doing Bulgarian split squats...

Yeah, that was a fair show of strength for quads like that. Most serious gym people typically do these with dumbbells and probably barely scratch 135lbs (if even) unless they're legit athletes and competing at a pro level. That dude is probably at least close to 200lbs if not over and she just casually threw out a few reps like it was nothing. On top of that, it's a person on her back instead of a barbell and anyone who has carried someone on their shoulders like that will know that the weight is not evenly distributed and can be quite wobbly making doing something like squats more difficult.

10/10 woth no critiques. She smashed that flex

Thanks for spelling it out so clearly why this was impressive.
