Two-Handed Lift

Two-Handed Lift (or 2HL) was a 3e concept found under B89 Lifting and Moving Things.
It was STx25 pounds as compared to the STx6 pounds for One-Handed Lift: slightly more than 4x as much.
Neither poundage was actually given a "lifting time", an oversight which 4e corrected in modifying the ideas.
A similar relationship is found in 4e:
*a person can lift Basic Lift w/ 1 hand in 1 second
**a person can lift 2xBL w/ 1 hand in 2 seconds
***there does not appear to be a way to lift 4xBL (or even 3xBL) w/ 1 hand using more time
*a person can PRESUMABLY lift 2xBL w/ 2 hands in 1 second (not actually stated, but extrapolated)
**a person can lift PRESUMABLY lift 4x BL w/ 2 hands in 2 seconds (not actually stated, but extrapolated)
***a person can lift 8xBL w/ 2 hands in 4 seconds (actually stated)
The "4x" relationship found in 4e is between the 2x and 8x multipliers: but that's "1 hand in 2 seconds" v "2 hands in 4 seconds".
