Your wife must be a lot shorter than you to only weigh 100 lb!
My wife is 5'2" and around 99 - 101 lbs. Strength is something not uncommon in my family. Not from my fathers side but my mothers side. My uncle Jim (lord rest soul)was extreamly powerful. He won the punt pass and kick for 12 year old when he was 10. I seen him carry a short block (a block with just crank rods and pistons no heads or manifolds)455 olds bigblock across the back of the garage and that is a very heavy block around 450lbs. My sister in high school was 5'7" and was 130lbs and could bench 155 easy. I was benching 300 lbs at a 170lbs and alot shorter... 5'9"(junior highschool).My highest ever was 355 and 405 on a decline and I think his genetics are more freakish than mine or my sisters.My dad said I was never that strong at that age.He could lift her up like that when he was 4 . If this is true that kid is gonna swat like a bear.
