Can arm wrestling be used for scaling Lifting strength?

[AppleMaker]

Assuming it's used for regular humans and for fictional characters. If human with 91 kg LS gets defeated in arm wrestling by a human who stated "I could lift only 80 kg at best", does it mean that his LS is actually higher than 80 kg or it's not applicable at all? Also for fictional characters - if a character have only one feat regarding LS, and it's defeating a creature with class M lifting strength in arm wrestling, would it scale his LS to class M or it would stay unknown?

It'd be an anti-feat for the 91 kg LS person though to what extent is unknown, since the gap isn't that big.

Yeah its slightly different muscles so it wouldnt even really be an anti feat I feel

Like you cant really say 1 arm LS = Arm wrestling.

But they are in the same order of power

LS really would be sub divided into like different lifts and pulls but fiction isnt that "serious" and no one would take the time so we just give an order of magnitude

But for human level stuff. That can be misleading I feel

Just how calcs are "hard" for low end stuff

Well, I previously thought it could downscale the former or upscale the latter, since this statement was more like an assumption. But I guess their LS would stay the same

They are close enough for it not to be a scaling issue

Can be explained by experience / different muscles

If they're relatively close (in that example its a 1.14x difference), then the 80KG person having better technique or experience would be enough to win, since Arm Wrestling also involves skill and knowing what angle to push from.

So while arm wrestling shouldn't be used to say B > A, it can be used to say that B and A are in a similar ballpark. Since if they were tens to thousands of times weaker, they'd never be able to budget the other.

Arm wrestling also uses different muscles than a direct lift

We usually dont think of that mattering because for 10000 tons vs 100 tons it doesnt matter, but for humans / people close in stats it does

A bit late but found this, where it tests skill against strength.
