Lifting Strength question

[Ser_Hakim_Dayne]

The LS page says that a character with Below Average Human LS can lift 50 kg, or even that characters with an Athletic Human LS can lift 120 kg... I mean, no small child can lift weights plates of 50 kg , and definitely not all athletes can lift 120 kg in bench press. How does Lifting Strength work here? I do not really understand

The LS page says that a character with Below Average Human LS can lift 50 kg,

That's the upper bound for Below Average Human level.

It encompasses 0 kg - 50 kg, and a small child can definitely lift 5 kg at least, placing them in Below Average Human level.

or even that characters with an Athletic Human LS can lift 120 kg...

A good squat for Trained Athletes would be twice their body weight (above Final Thoughts in the article) which would be over 120 kg for most athletes.

How much static force one can exert (so not the brief spike of force by punching, but like by pushing stuff around), usually measured in kilograms to metric tonnes.

"Well, your training experience has to be the most crucial part in determining how much of a bench press would be considered good for you. After all, you cannot expect to bench press 225 lbs for 5 reps within a month if you are an absolute beginner... When it comes to absolute beginners/novices who have just started their weight training journey, it would take them a considerable amount of time to lift heavy weights on the bench press. So if you are one amongst them, don't daydream about benching two plates in the coming month to impress your gym bros and high-school crush (if you have one)"

"Don't rely on the parameter which says that only performing a bench of 225 or more for reps is considerable. Only a few percent of people can bench 225. So definitely, your strength levels are quite optimum. Even in the case of an athlete (like a footballer, swimmer, basketball player, etc.) whose respective sport doesn't necessarily require him/her to be super strong or muscular, being able to bench press his/her body weight would be considered pretty ideal. On the contrary, if you are into a strength-based sport(like powerlifting) or a physique-based sport (like bodybuilding), you will be required to hit some impressive numbers on the bench press."

Novices/beginners cannot lift double their weight without training, even athletes who practice other sports.

Athletic Human level isn't for novice athletes- those go in Above Average Human level
