[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 8606419, member: 6801845"] Stone giants being huge creatures can carry 460 (23 * 25 * 2 *2) pounds without being encumbered. They can carry up to 1,380 pounds. A human with 20 strength can carry 100 pounds before being encumbered, or carry a max load of 300 pounds. Hafthor is not carrying that weight around, they're doing a dead lift and holding it for a second or two which is not what the rules on how much you can carry is even attempting to model.
