That one-arm press is an image from She-Hulk #9, Volume 3.The Jupiter suit was a special outfit worn by John Jameson, son of the famous publisher that plagues Spider-man, and the subject of quite a few superhero (and supervillain) treatments himself.
Apparently, far from augmenting strength, as many forum participants mistakenly tell other fans, the Jupiter suit [b]hampers
the movement of any wearer; adds to the difficulty of it, presumably by replicating the heavy gravity conditions of ... Planet Jupiter.The following might explain a tad more fully...

" Thing asks John Jameson how things are back at the space program. John says that it hasn’t been the same since Ben left. He says that it is good to see Commander Grimm. John tells Reed that he actually has something that might help him with Jen’s problem. John takes the Jupiter suit out of his bag. He says that it is something that Tony Stark and the boys at NASA put together for him when he temporarily gained uncontrollable super strength... "

Thanks. So she's actually handicapped in the scan you posted, and thus, can lift even more than that?

Yeah, in fact when Jen accidentally gets her suit ripped in a battle with Titania an issue or few later, and is angry enough to disregard that fact and punch Titania, it creates a Greg Pak/"Heart of the Monster" style "detonation".

Before I forget, I should explain that Titania survives Jen's punch because she's got the Infinity Gem of Power.
Hopefully the link to the following, relevant backgroud info quoted below, will work for other posters:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
" While the Skardons aided the Champion in restoring himself after the defeat, Warlock sought opponents to defeat him within the ring.
The Champion defeated the Shi'ar Gladiator, the Silver Surfer, Beta Ray Bill, Drax the Destroyer, and Adam Warlock himself before the Magistrati (agents of the Living Tribunal's universal law) sent a court-appointed advocate, the She-Hulk, to Skardon to oppose Champion at the request of Warlock's companion, Pip the Troll.
Skardon law required Champion to accept even the challenge of a "lesser" female, and She-Hulk was losing badly to Champion when she asked for an appeal and was granted an extension.
She trained for three months on the theory that her human form of Jennifer Walters was weak, and by increasing her human strength, she'd exponentially increase her strength as She-Hulk.
She then returned and objected to the Champion's use of the Power Gem, an alien object which should not be permissible within the ring according to Skardon law.
The Champion, already irritated over the lengthy delay, angrily conceded the point and fought She-Hulk without it, and the pair even extended a bitter wager: if the Champion lost, he'd never wear the Gem again, and if the She-Hulk lost, she'd bear the Champion children for him to raise as future combatants.
However, the Champion had apparently become dependent upon the Gem; that the She-Hulk's newly acquired bulk led to a quick defeat for the former Champion, reputedly his first ever defeat within the ring.
He took the name "Fallen One" and chose to provide the new "Champion of the Universe" with worthy competition ... "
