One of my players asked me this question. "If I pick up a desk or create and thrown it. How far, how much can I lift/throw, how much damage will it deal?
Vesk: 8ft tall, 300lbs, STR 18 = +4 mod."
1) Looks like it would count as a club base damage unless I ruled that it does more damage... no big deal.
2) Lift is more problematic as it looks like he can only lift 90lb which does not seem right? Am I missing something?
3) Thoughts on range increments? Should I use 10ft per increment?

Where are you getting the idea he can only lift 90 from? Note, the rules do *not* say that Bulk 1 invariably = 10 pounds carry. Bulk is explicitly an abstraction that includes a lot of factors beyond simple weight, treating it as "carry weight / 10" is misusing it.
And even if it was, Carry weight =/= the amount you can lift over your head and throw. Your max carry weight is an amount you can lug around with you all day long without too many adverse effects and as such is a good bit less heavy than the maximum you could lift over your head and throw.
