It is a world record, which requires a lot of training (he probably has lifting skill above 15), a lot of extra effort and, in GURPS terms, some luck to the success roll ...
Without any training? Do you think he popped out of his mother's womb with that ST score? Aged 18 he looked like this. Training (And in his case, steroids) is what gets you such an absurdly high ST score. Nobody starts out like that.
