That would be pretty cool :)

Sure, but remember that the old BRP model was that 10 points mean a
doubling in value. So whilst SIZ 20 is twice SIZ 10, SIZ 30 is four times
SIZ 10, not three.

I don't have my BRP book handy, but I rather suspect the figures were
chosen without too much consideration of muscular and bone density.
