From my experience, Asian guys don't have much in the way of physical strength. Where I go to the Gym, sometimes I see a group of Chinese and Indian guys working out, and they struggle with bench pressing the raw bar, and can barely curl 10lbs weights. That's not where their strengths lie. They are built for mental tasks not physical tasks.
And, It's one thing to lift 60lbs during a weightlifting exercise. It's another thing to lift 60 lbs and safely carry it across a warehouse or while working in a construction site.
