650 lbs is roughly twice the maximum weight ever recorded 1187 lbs (6'2").
Weights of up to 1400 lbs have been estimated.
1069 lbs is undisputed, Robert Earl Hughes 6' 0.5".

Mr. Wadlows weight @9' was 439lbs, with 491 lbs being his largest recorded weight.
Goliath of Gath (c. 1060 BC) 6 cubits (inner elbow to tip of middle finger, measured by Joe Average) and 1 span (distance from tip of thumb to tip of pinkie across a spread palm) or a tad over nine and a half feet tall (2 hexes).

Ouch, I'm off by 10lbs.
I'll call it wiggle room and count it good.
That's 18 encumbrance levels @130lbs per level to cover ST30 Shift.
2370 and 2500(1.25 tons) make levels 19 and 20.
ST 30 Shifts 3/4 its ST in ELs.
ST 20 Shifts 2/5 its ST in ELs.
ST 10 Shifts 1/5 its ST in ELs.
Encumbrance as Horsepower
Horsepower, unit of power in the English system, for measuring the rate at which an engine or other prime mover can perform mechanical work. It is usually abbreviated hp. Its electrical equivalent is 746 watts, and the heat equivalent is 2545 British thermal units per hour. One horsepower was originally defined as the amount of power required to lift 33,000 pounds 1 foot in 1 minute, or 550 foot-pounds per second.
Scottish engineer and inventor James Watt established this value for the horsepower after determining in practical tests that horses could haul coal at the average rate of 22,000 foot-pounds per minute. He then arbitrarily raised this figure by a factor of one-half to establish the current value. In the metric system, 1 horsepower is sometimes called force de cheval or cheval-vapeur and is defined as 4500 kilogram-meters per minute, which is equivalent to 32,549 foot-pounds per minute, or 0.986 of the English horsepower unit.
Three different horsepower values are used to quote the performance of an engine: (1) Indicated horsepower is the theoretical efficiency of a reciprocating engine, which is determined from the pressure developed by the cylinders of the engine; (2) brake or shaft horsepower is more commonly used to indicate the practical ability of the engine, or the maximum performance, which is the indicated horsepower minus the power lost through heat, friction, and compression; (3) rated horsepower is the power that an engine or motor can produce efficiently for sustained periods of time.
Electric motors are capable of surges of power far in excess of their rated horsepower (see Electric Motors and Generators). British automobile engines are classified in rated horsepower, but their brake horsepower may be four to six times the rated horsepower. The power output of American automobile engines is quoted in brake horsepower, most being rated between 60 and 200 horsepower.

There's that pesky 10lbs again.
I'm obviously not trying for accuracy.
Remember however;
"In the metric system, 1 horsepower is sometimes called force de cheval or cheval-vapeur and is defined as 4500 kilogram-meters per minute, which is equivalent to 32,549 foot-pounds per minute, or 0.986 of the English horsepower unit."
So fudging both ends ought to help a bit.
Let's call it renormalizing, lol.

I am Indie with his pistol and the rest are still swinging swords.
I like swordplay, so I only shoot the ones that threaten.
I find that I start with an ideal of my goal.
IF I put effort into it, I find that I have to make compromises to "make it work".
I have a poor ability to stand back and assess my goal while trying to "make it work".
This makes it easy to loose my ideal.
I wonder if this happens to anyone else?
