Isn't the obvious problem whatever your arm lifts, the rest of your body has to support? an "arm" alone attached to a frail human body would pretty quickly hit its limits, and lifting 1000 lbs is basically giant exo skelleton level.

    Don't think I've ever really watched it, but yeah his legs and arms were both enhanced, but if he were to ever do something like pick up a car or something, you'd likely expect his spine to snap unless he used some kind of leverage.
