After a long day my partner tends to pass out on the couch, and as said, my fitness goal is to be able to pick up and carry her approx the 10 metres from the couch to the bed without waking her or injuring myself. However we will eventually upgrade to a two floor residence so ideally I want to be able to do this up a flight of stairs.
I've had this goal for a few years and not made any progress, so would love your help. At this point I can pick her up with great difficulty, and can only travel a few steps before I have to put her down.
I am 130 lbs, 5'3, 31yo, F. My current workout regime is bouldering 1-3x/week (indoors & outdoors), running 5-10 kms 1-2x/week, lifting 1-2x/week, and light yoga 2-4x/week. Lifting has been really variable because of covid and lots of closures in my region. When I'm able to access a gym, I cycle deadlifts, shoulder press, squats, and chest press with 2 auxiliary lifts with each. I usually lift at the climbing gym after bouldering for 60-90 minutes, so I can't get anywhere close to max but am not so concerned with ego numbers.
When the gym is closed, I have adjustable dumbbells at home that max out at 20lbs each and do HIIT style stuff plus auxiliary lifts. When the gym is open and I can lift 2x/week, for the major lifts I'm at:
Deadlift - 7reps x 3 sets x 85lbs barbell
Shoulder press - 7x3x20lbs each dumbbell
Squat - 7x3x75lbs barbell
Bench - 7x3x25lbs each dumbbell
(using dumbbells for arm lifts rather than barbell because it's more functional for bouldering)
What training would you suggest I do? Open to anything, since what I'm doing is obviously not working.
