Well, any healthy person, even a woman, should be able to press at least his/her own weight.
I must say I don't know what my absolute limit is when it comes to bench-pressing (I don't bench-press on a regular basis, it not my thing), but I know I can lift 70kg / 155lb (my own weight) without sweat. I bet a lot of (healthy) women with the same weight can do it too.

I doubt it, but if you want to believe that that's cool.  Anyways, now that I think of it I'm thinking that maybe Mordin can lift a bit more than 110 lbs.  If you have him with you during the Collector ship mission as well as Grunt, you see Mordin help Grunt get up.  That takes a lot of strength I imagine.

You think I did it out of pride?  No, I did it out of respect for those who have ever dreamed of one day obtaining such strength.  Just as I look up to my betters, I expect others to look up to me and realize that if they put as much work and dedication as I did into toning my strength and skills, then maybe one day they can do it to.

Yep, and FemShep can help Grunt on the platform when he's falling down after the boss.

....so?

I wish you weren't such a jackass because you're kind of hilarious.

You do realize you are on a forum where there is a 300 page thread about a barely legal alien girl that doesn't exist right?

That is just for the sake of the story.  A little suspension of disbelief is no big deal.  Mass Effect 2 has a fantastic story so I can forgive such implausibilities.

Durr. On my playthrough, Tali helped Grunt up.
Since *everyone* can help Grunt up in that mission, you can now up all the others to at least 110 as well.

It's not about ego.  This is just for fun.  You may not find it fun to speculate about such things but I do and nobody is forcing you to post here.

That is where the suspension of disbelief part comes in.

Please, don't turn this into a male VS female debate.  That is not the purpose of this thread.

The OP is a ******, yes, and he doesn't give women their due, and he talks down at them etc. etc. etc.



But, the fact is that men have a far greater capacity for high body strength than women do. It's a fact. There's nothing sexist about that fact, unless you were to claim that reality is sexist.



I get also that in the ME universe women are potentially a lot stronger than they are today due to genetic engineering, but that still doesn't change the fact that the male in-game model clearly has a higher muscle density than that of the more athletic body-type female model.



This doesn't mean that women can't train their bodies to be as physically able as men are - most acts that require a lot of body strength are dependent on how you move your muscles more than how large your muscles are (which is why femshep can do some of her epic punch-outs), but in a challenge of brute strength, a man would usually be victorious over a woman.



I only bring it up because I've been told that I'm sexist before on these boards for stating facts, and it pissed me off. So, even though the OP and his "but she's a woman so probably 1 pound f*cking puny weak women they can't do nothin' right!" attitude is bullshit, it does have grounds in reality. His estimates for women are way off in this genetic enhancement fictional future that Mass Effect represents, though.

How come you don't suspend disbelief when Mordin, 50 years old with an average lifespan of only 40 years, which would roughly compare to a nowaday's 100 years for a human, helps Grunt up, then?

Pretty cowardly that you attack me but then agree with me.  You're trying to have it both ways by siding with what I believe but making sure you let everyone know that you despise me since you're afraid you'll be flamed.

Because I don't think that is real.  The writers themselves said the ages are not all real and that is believable considering they say Grunt is 22 when that is not possible.

I'm not agreeing with you, you stupic macho cunt. I'm saying that in the overwhelming amount of bull**** you post, there's maybe 1% of it that could be considered legitimate. That 1% is the fact that men have a greater capacity for strength than women. Everything else is a gross sexist miscalculation.

You're wrong on the whole bench thing, OP. In high school I've seen girls put up 135 lbs.

That 1 percent you referred to is actually 100 percent of what has caused this stupid debacle to begin with.  Nice job covering your ass though so you don't have to take responsibility for your opinions.

As I said, there are women who can bench press a lot when they juice.  The chemistry of a woman though puts a strict limit in just how physically strong they can become.

That is why I have advocated making female Shepard's melee attacks do less damage in the next patch and balancing that by giving female Shepard a "seduce" ability which makes male organic enemies temporarily fight on your side.

Well, those who are into perfecting the human body would probably take interest.  Every beginner needs a role model and I am honored to fullfill that role.
