Ants and Beetles are SUPER STRONG,
Even compared to other animals outside insects
Like Gorillas, but even then Gorillas are nowhere near as strong as those insects when it comes to pound for pound despite having much more muscle mass
I always thought that it had something to do with the insect’s anatomy or the shape of the object they’re carrying which led me to believe they could somehow redirect the force applied to them, there’s just so many variables going on, it’s so interesting but I never got a clear answer.
In: Biology
People are the same- the best weightlifters pound for pound are smaller people.
There is a coach at my gym who is a small female who has a triple body weight deadlift. Obviously that is very strong but not “elite” for someone her size. Whereas if you’re a super heavy weight pro male strongman (think the guy who played the mountain in game of thrones) your max deadlift might only be 2.5 x bodyweight
