Level 1 Goliath Fighter carrying-capacity with 22 Strength and the Natural Heavyweight feat (Planar Handbook Pg 40):
Light Load:
Normal Medium Creature with STR of 22, 173 pounds
Me, 692 pounds
Medium Load:
Normal Medium Creature with STR of 22, 174 pounds - 346 pounds
Me, 696 pounds - 1,384 pounds
Heavy Load:
Normal Medium Creature with STR of 22, 347 pounds - 520 pounds
Me, 1,388 pounds - 2,080 pounds
Lift over Head:
Normal Medium Creature with STR of 22, 520 pounds
Me, 2,080 pounds - I could lift slightly more than two heavy warhorses, (900 pounds each), over my head, and I would be 320 pounds short of being able to lift a heavy catapult, (2,400 pounds), over my head .
Carry:
Normal Medium Creature with STR of 22, 1040 pounds
Me, 4,160 pounds - I'd be 40 pounds short of being able to carry Trebuchet (3,600 pounds) and two warponies (300 pounds each) at the same time.
Drag:
Normal Medium Creature with STR of 22, 2600 pounds
Me, 10,400 pounds - I'd be able to simultaneously drag a battering ram (3,000 pounds), a heavy mangonel (3,000 pounds), a light mangonel (2,000 pounds), a heavy ballista (2,000 pounds), and a light ballista (400 pounds). I could drag an entire siege regiment! I could also drag 72 stones for a heavy trebuchet (150 pounds each).
Keep in mind, this is all at level 1
Then came this new thought. What if I was a Goliath Barbarian with mountain rage (+6 to strength). Let's see shall we?

Me, 1600 pounds
Medium Load:
Normal Medium Creature with STR of 22, 174 pounds - 346 pounds
Me, 1604 pounds - 3,200 pounds
Heavy Load:
Normal Medium Creature with STR of 22, 347 pounds - 520 pounds
Me, 3,204 pounds - 4,800 pounds
Lift over Head:
Normal Medium Creature with STR of 22, 520 pounds
Me, 4,800 pounds
Carry:
Normal Medium Creature with STR of 22, 1040 pounds
Me, 9,600 pounds
Drag:
Normal Medium Creature with STR of 22, 2600 pounds
Me, 24,000 pounds
Number needed to drag the Terrasque around (assuming it's dead or feeling not quite so murderous.) 130 tonnes, so 260,000 pounds
Normal Medium Creature with STR of 22 - 100
Me - Just under 11
ELEVEN! Eleven level 1 characters DRAGGING the Terrasque!
So this begs three major questions and many other little questions.
Can I carry things to death somehow?
In what fun ways could I abuse this?
Who can come up with the most ridiculous illustration of how broken this by giving a list of things the raging Goliath barbarian could carry as a light, medium, and heavy load?
What other fun combinations of things could I carry? (How many kobolds could I lift over my head? Could I drag a dragon? How many of me would it take to carry a fiend worm?, etc.)
I look forward to your comments.
