Muscles don't know about weight, they know about resistance and fatigue. The receptors that code it are the tendinous organs of Golgi, the terminals of Ruffini, the corpusculae of Pacini and the neuromuscular strains.
Fatigue is related to the muscle's oxidative and metabolic processes, strength however is a neuromuscular adaptation; this explains why trained powerlifters with low bw can lift more weight than untrained individuals and culturists with similar weight.
This also explains why advanced and intermediate powerlifters have to also train hypertrophy.
Strength is a measure that varies according to an individual's training, this is why whenever I shake the hand of a clinical branch specialist they feel like shame and fear.
