You missed the actually point being raised here.

The Lifting Skill "increases your Basic Lift by 5% times your margin of success for the purpose of picking up heavy objects". The formula is ((1+(0.05x))*ST^ST/5 or ST = square root of (BL*5*(1+(0.05x))

However the modifiers for Extra Effort are figured off of ST not BL which produces the somewhat ugly (ST^2*(1+0.1x+.0025x^2))/5

Using both can get his ST down to a reasonable 15.
