Why is it impossible to sit in a chair and lift it up? People can lift hugh amounts of weight so why can't they lift up the chair when seated in it?
Off topic, but I just have to post this:Flustered said:Would the same explanation go with the problem, of 2 people trying to pick each other up at the same time. Why don't they levitate?

kurtlesker said:it indeed is possible, provided that you strap yourself to the chair.
you need first make sure that your arms have the strength to lift your own weight plus that of the chair (hit the gym?)
then get a pair of crutches, or anything that's taller than the height from the floor to where your arms are. Then just push down on the support. Chair will be lifted up with your body...

To lift yourself up while seated, you can use your arms and leg muscles. Place your hands on the armrests or the side of the chair and push down while also pushing up with your legs. This will help you lift your body up off the chair.
It is generally safe to lift yourself up while seated, as long as you do not have any pre-existing medical conditions or injuries that may be aggravated by this movement. If you are unsure, it is always best to consult with a medical professional before attempting to lift yourself up while seated.
It is not recommended to use a chair with wheels to lift yourself up. This can be dangerous as the chair may roll or tip over, causing injury to yourself. It is best to use a sturdy, stationary chair or surface for this movement.
You will primarily be using your arm and leg muscles to lift yourself up while seated. This includes your biceps, triceps, chest, and leg muscles such as your quadriceps and glutes. It is important to engage these muscles and use proper form to avoid injury.
If you have limited mobility or strength, you can modify the lift by using a chair or surface with armrests and pushing down on the armrests while also pushing up with your legs. You can also use a higher surface, such as a countertop or table, to make the lift easier. If you are still struggling, it is best to seek assistance from a caregiver or medical professional.
