Getting untrained people to do a one rep squat / bench / deadlift seems unsafe. It's probably easier to just do genetic testing or get biological markers and draw the line that way.

Genetic advantages as Phelps' seal-like features and Kawhi Leonard's giant hands and wingspan are culturally acceptable and even celebrated.

I see diversity (appearance) as a signaling tactic, and it's not always bad. For example, I'm looking for a friendly kickboxing gym. I scroll through photos of various gyms and if I see a wall of tough looking men, I, a fellow man
