I think the question is rather ambiguous. 1. with help of pulley or any other simple machine? 2. account for muscle (prob?) 3. friction?

I looked up "strongest man alive" and I got: Mariusz Pudzianowski

So I guess you can look at his stats and conclude on that.

I believe the average maximum force would be around 175 kiloNewtons
