I know that I can lift 48lbs, the exact weight of my 7 year old son.  However, he is easy to lift because I can give him a piggy back or he will wrap his legs around my waist.  This way the weight is distributed and easier to carry.  I'm not sure I could lift a 40-50lb  box of anything since the weight is all in one place.



I do know that once a week I have to pick up a box of bottled water for my boss (weight unknown (bottled water not my boss's)).  I just pick it up 6" off the floor and put it on a trolley to carry to his office.



I have honestly never seen a weight-lifting requirement in any administrative position posting!
