Personally, I find KYOS less realistic than the default ST system. If you just want large increases in lifting capacity relative to overall ST, Lifting ST does a phenomenal job. I treat Lifting ST and Striking ST as Secondary Characteristics anyway, so I allow characters to purchase Lifting ST and Striking ST at +/- 30% ST without any issues and up to +100% ST with Special Exercises (Lifting ST can exceed ST by 100%) and Special Exercises (Striking ST can exceed ST by 100%). Lifting ST and Striking ST are never unbalanced, though they are overvalued in high TL settings, so I have never really understood why they are considered exotic advantages, as it just simplifies things to have them as Secondary Characteristics.
