He should be stronger than the average guy, even the average guy who goes swinging on Bat cables through the city at night. But he shouldn't be lifting a few tons, 800 pounds should be the limit, because even with the adamantium, his tendons and ligaments would tear and snap, and even though he heals superfast, it isn't guaranteed they'd heal correctly....

The thing is, this isn't true, not for Wolverine. In Wolverine: Snikt! his right arm was burned so badly only his adamantium bones remained; guess what? They were still linked together. Wolverine was still able to use his arm (even though he had to hold it with his left hand). If there is cartilage between his bones that can be severed, than it can also be burned away, and obviously thats not the case.What about New X-Men, E is for Extinction? Nova burned off all the flesh on his right arm, and guess what? the arm bones were still linked together. They didn't collapse or fall off, which is what they would have done had there been connecting ligaments and cartilage.
How about Miller's Wolverine? When Shingen and Logan fight, Shingen aims a sword stroke at Logans' neck; I've been informed that it was later explained (whether by Miller or Claremont, I don't know) that it was an attack that was meant to sever Wolverine's head, by cutting inbetween the connecting bones; but since Wolverine's adamantium reinforces and links those bones, it couldn't cut through.
And lets not forget Blood Hungry.

Wolverine may look big but he isnt superhuman level, only by fanboy standards can he lift over a ton...............
You just need to be able to lift more than a peak human, which thanks to the adamantium Wolverine can.
