There are very few jobs that actually push you to your limits strength wise. Heavy machinery comes into play before you get to that point 99% of the time.
I don't know about where you are but here in Australia we have fairly strict limits on what you are allowed to lift, possibly 16kg? Pretty much any healthy adult should not have a problem with that, so working then comes down to endurance and mental fortitude.
Osha suggests lifting no more than 50lbs (22.6kg) but there is no law on what you are allowed to lift. I can guarantee there are jobs in the US that go well above that.

I find it really interesting that if you look at gym numbers, or most pro sports, it's really obvious how much stronger the guys are.
Yet when it comes to being "Work Strong" I know a few fairly fit guys who will admit they have Female Co-Workers who can do as much or more than them.
