In relation to yourself, yes... For example, the female gymnasts I trained along side maxed out their pushups in about mid 70s (this is without stopping). They are very strong for their own bodies, but would not be considered strong against many guys. They marveled at some of the things I did on rings which were quite frankly not that difficult...

I've switched things up. Maybe I'll post some new maxes soon. (My size-strength ratio is so bad! :P)

Most definetely, I've seen a guy with 12 inch arms beat a buy with 15 inch arms in an arm wrestle.
It's being a part of the Red, White and Green that makes me a Rooting Machine. And when you feel my mighty Stallion, you will know you have been with a true Italian. :D
Edit Dec 2009: ^^^^^^^^^^^^ I was gay when I was 15.

also can depend on the muscle:weight ratio. if you're skinny, you don't need huge muscles to lift yourself

yes
At a weight of 130 lbs, Bruce Lee could do 8 reps of one-arm barbell curls, hold a 75 lb barbell in front of him for 20 seconds, and do 50 one-arm chin ups.
He also beat up Chuck Norris in his spare time.

When you train your CNS with lower reps, your strength will usually progress faster than size.
