Can I just add something to this incredible discussion? My understanding of what is inferred is that 18 means he can lift 180lbs as a matter of ease. That is to say he is so strong that he could walk for 8 hours and lift that 180lbs above his head repetitively. And if he has an 18 constitution, do so for the entire 8 hrs before needing a rest.
Again that's just me inferring. How does that mesh with the Olympian deadlifting 1100lbs? It's just a dead lift. can he walk down the street with 180lbs for several hours?
It's not just a max exertion. Again that's what I inferred from All D&D except AD&D which threw in 18/00.
