I think as long as that sort of thing is ICly justified, it's acceptable - as in: if you're a human, you have to a) do a massive amount of weight training; b) practice lifting and swinging the sword around until you don't dislocate your arm when you try; and c) practice fighting with it for at least a few IC years, before you're even going to be able to lift it and wield it and fight - much less fight successfully - with that thirty-pound sword designed for giants.
It's when there's little - or no - IC justification that I object to stuff like that.
