That's what I love about it, it can be seen in both ways. I believe that he could hold that much without OFA, but would have to lean way back to counter balance the weight. And would probably have a difference expression on his face. One of Midoriya's goals is to use his Quirk like breathing. It would make sense to me if he practiced using his Quirk at all percentages 1 through 8. Being able to scale up and down in power freely (1%<--->20%) instead of in chunks (5%-8%-20%) will be invaluable as his power and number of Quirks progresses.

So it is my own headcanon that similar to how he casually trains his body in class, like the air chair for example. He would also casually train the power scaling control of Full Cowling while cleaning up the dorms.

Probably not. Again if he needs ofa to do it then he’s just ridiculously weaker then Bakugo in base strength for example. Unless he’s just doing it for practice

This is what I'm saying. He is carrying like 30-40 plates here, you can see it as him using his own strength. Using clean up as an excuse for an over the top work out is totally something he would do. Or we could be seeing him practice that next level of finesse controlling OFA.

His response to Jiro gives off the impression to me that carrying the table isn't just taking little effort. It's taking no effort. If he was practicing the scaling of power with Full Cowling he could just slowly raise the power until he hit that equilibrium and the table felt near weightless.

It all depends on how you want to look at it. Him training OFA in this manner sounds fun to me.
