What's the "strength base" you need to be able

Not even that. If you program for aesthetics with right accessories and shit, I'd say even 90kg bench is enough, and 2 plate for squat

Maybe if you're a manlet.
That weight needs to scale up for us manmores.
Still haven't learned I see.

For reps I'm talking about, for example you could get big legs just by squatting 2 plate for 8-12 reps with good accessories.

if by strength base you mean the strength levels you will eventually reach if you just train high reps and progressively overload while eating good, all without focussing on strength, yeah that's somewhere around it

You don't need a strength base before becoming aesthetic, you can improve your looks and strength at the same time.

the hard thing is accounting for variables like efficiency in movement patterns. some people can fatigue their muscle with little weights. it's a skill. some people look small but can trivialize huge weights.
