If you carry a 50 lb bag of trash to the curb, it requires the same amount of work whether you weigh 155 or 195. If you remove 2 lbs of empty zima bottles from the bag it requires less work to cover the same distance, so if you were to expend the same amount of energy as you did with the bottles in there you will get to the curb faster.
Most strippers I know prefer grams of things other than 1's.
