Actually, the stronger you are the faster you can swing, and the ancient badasses who wore plate and carried two hand swords would be elite soldiers who were extremely fast, athletic, and agile; don't doubt human agility when death is a consequence of ponderousness. Two handed swords weighed at most 8-12 pounds and a plate harness weighed less than a modern infantryman's equipment.
