Well first of all armor and weapons are two considerably different things and historically armor can get to be quite heavy.

Even the big swords though, probably wouldn't be all that heavy as Yat's is big, buts it's not Cloud Strife BFS big.

For a reference some of the biggest swords used in real life like the "William Wallace Claymore" and large flamberges would have weighed AT MOST about 8 to 10 pounds. So anyone in decent shape would be able to use them fairly easily.
