Basic Trope: A character demonstrates a lack of physical strength that seems at odds with their normal routine.
- Straight: Bob can walk and run very easily, but lifting a 10-pound dumbbell is beyond his wildest imagination.
- Exaggerated:
- From the way Bob struggles to stand after Alice places a five-dollar bill on Bob's chest, you'd think that she had placed Mjölnir.
- Bob is physically incapable of performing mundane tasks that toddlers can easily accomplish without assistance.
- Downplayed: Bob can lift a 10-pound dumbbell, but 20-pounds is too much for him.
- Justified:
- Bob is a young child.
- Bob is a Lazy Bum who doesn't want to put any effort into exercising.
- Inverted: Bob has Super-Strength
- Subverted: We see Bob at the gym, unable to lift a set of weights. We then see that he accidentally put the maximum weight on.
- Double Subverted: He goes for the lowest possible weight, and still can't lift that.
- Parodied: Bob is so weak that he can't even lift air!
- Zig-Zagged: How strong or weak Bob is in a given episode depends on the writer.
