GURPS ST vs real wold records

GWJ · 08-20-2020, 06:29 AM

Hey, I have a player who is big bodybuilding fan. And I have some problems with creating PCs for him.

The main issue is that he always want to have character who is able to lift at least certain amounts of weight in certain exercises (notably Military Press X kg, Bench Press Y kg, Dead Lift Z kg, Barbell Squats, Biceps Curls etc., and also exercies like "I can do X 1-arm-push-ups" or "I can do 20 chin-ups"). How the hell should I stat these things?

The second, not as important issue, is about muscle mass vs real strength. We all know the bodybuilders are just weak relatively to their mass - how is best way to treat this? ST according to real strength (above) and HP accordingly to his weight?
