Just to compare strength from a sport I like. Inez Carrasquillo has the current log lift world record. It is 321 pounds. Inez is a beast at a real 6'1" and 235 pounds. She is also on ALL the super creatine. CrossFit has used a log in their events before. The 5'8" 180 pound men with very little practice are pressing the same weight.
