Someone recognizing Tony's physical strength

[ladyhatshepsut.livejournal.com]

"Tony plucked her up and set her on a workbench like she was five years old...It always surprised her how physically strong he was.  It shouldn’t.  He was a mechanic and the lean, ropey muscles weren’t for show."

This is a line from "Ice and Fire" by SteeleHoltingOn.  Reading this I wondered if there was any other fic where someone remarked on or was surprised at how strong Tony Stark actually was.  Not Iron Man, but Tony himself.  I do recall a scene in Iron Man where I think Tony was working on his suit, wearing a wife beater which showed off his magnificent, muscular upper body.

Thank you. That one was a good story. Oceanbreeze7's work is also at Archive of Our Own.

Yeah, I know, but thank you, since I actually prefer reading stories on AO3 and it would have been a great information if I didn't know :) I only gave the ff.net id, because when I thought about this story, I couldn't remember if Oceanbreeze7 had the same nick on AO3 as on ff.net, so the second was easier to find :)
I tried to remember other stories in this theme I know, but couldn't think of anything dealing with Tony's physical strength, despite the fact that I KNOW I read others :< I did however remember some dealing with the 'Merchant of Death' title and possibly some dealing with his genius, if you were interested.
