For her to be much stronger P4P she'd have to pretty much lift someone close to 300 pounds which is unlikely don't you think?

I acknowledged that Kim and others are stronger overall. However, I've never worked with 115 pound girl (who 2 years earlier that when she started training, was only 100 pounds) that could do what Jen does. Pound for pound is not me being literal, but rather a general statement. That said, I actually believe Jen could do the lift you mentioned with 275 pounds (and no, don't ask for it, cause it ain't happening unfortunately!)
There's more to lifting than just strength. A lot of it is body shape, tendon strength, and most important, attitude. Case in point: Kim was terrified to do that "140 Lifting 350" video, and I have no doubt Jen would be even more scared if I suggested she lift two people with that combined weight. However, in other ways, Jen had confidence to do things that even Kim wouldn't/couldn't. For instance, Kim struggled with an over one shoulder lift for whatever reason, and yet on one occasion, Jen came up to me, and lifted me unexpectedly over one shoulder, to where I was straight like a board, and just completely got muscled up against my will. I was so shocked that I thought she was going to be taken to the emerg. Yet, she just laughed it off. No girl has ever lifted me that way against my will (actually, except for Jessie Gem and Lateeshia).
Anyway, bottom line is, Jen is damn strong. Kim is strong. They're all stronger than most average girls or we wouldn't be shooting with them. Enjoy your favourites and don't put too much thought into these things
