What does pounds of lift mean on a diving wing bladder bcd?

Chachee asked:


I am looking at purchasing a wing bcd for diving. Some have 30 pounds of lift and some have 100 pounds of lift. What do these numbers mean and what kind of diving are they most suitable for.

I weigh 160 lbs and qualified to dive 40 meters. However, in the future I would like to take up technical diving. What wing and pounds of lift would be best suited for me?
