The fact is there's a million factors of strength, and turning real life physiology into D&D stats is a fundamentally impossible exercise. That doesn't stop us having fun with it though!Bench press is something some folks might know. We could certainly add deadlift to the collection of tests (though I was generally trying o avoid things which needed gym equipment).The average person can deadlift about 120% of their bodyweight. Let's call that 200lb average. The world record is 1,014.1lb (let's call that 1,000lb)Ranging 200lb as STR 10 and 1000lb at STR 20 you get an 800lb range there with 80lb increments per ability increase.So take your deadlift, and add or deduct 1 point from STR 10 for each full 80lb above or below 200lb you can do. In other words, take your deadlift, deduct 200lb, divide by 80, add 10.(deadlift - 200)/80 +10.(I'll add this extra test to the OP for the sake of completeness. The more fun tests, the more fun!)</blockquote>
