Question about stats in dnd 5e.
I find it hard to figure out what your stat number is actually relatable to in real standards. Like is a guy with +5 str able to pick up a horse? Whats the real Int. contrast between a guy with +1 int and someone with +4?
Thanks in advance!

It's not something D&D's stats (5e's stats in particular) are intended to explain. They're there for the purpose of game balance, not necessarily any world building purposes.
Someone with 10 strength is dead average, someone with 16 strength has the makings of a hero, and someone with 20 strength has pushed to the boundary of mortal limits. Extrapolate that to all of the stats and there you go.
