someone who doesn't lift at all will need 2 helpers. you just pull retarded anecdotes out of your ass that didn't even happen. there is no functional strength. a deadlift isn't much different then picking up a washing machine except for the grip. there is explosive strength vs volume. powerlifters vs bodybuilders. 1x 250kg or 10x120kg. which is more functional depends on what you want to do but both are way better then not training your muscles at all.
