@ Kittygirl7878 :

"because she has to lift up people like Nathan and Max"

Not necessarily. In the episode iFind Lewbert's Lost Love, Sam picked up Freddie and carried him, over her shoulder, out of the apartment.

But if you watch that scene carefully, what we actually saw was Jennette grab Nathan around the waist, and then it cut to a wider shot of Nathan being lifted up by a person with long blond hair, but we didn't see the person's face.

The remainder of the scene only showed Sam's back as she carried Freddie out of the apartment. Sam says, "We'll be back in a few!" as they leave.

The way I figure it, this was almost certainly a stunt double (with Jennette McCurdy's line added in as a voice-over). It seems rather unlikely to me that Jennette McCurdy would have the strength to lift Nathan Kress over her shoulder in this manner.

Also, it's not just a question of strength. It's also a question of physics. I don't know how much Jennette and Nathan respectively weigh, but you can't lift something that weighs significantly more than you do. It would be foolish to even try. You could really hurt yourself.

More than likely, they used stunt doubles in the scenes where Sam performed feats of strength that Jennette wouldn't be capable of.
