- WastingMyTime89 5y agoWe both are stronger and have more stamina than macaques. The biggest male adult macaques are 18kg. That’s probably more that the average adult can raise with one arm but not by much and I insist on average. That’s nothing exceptional for someone in shape. Considering the weight and power in a human leg, a swift kick would seriously harm and probably kill an average macaque. The issue is not strength here.

- syntheticcorp 5y agoAverage adult would include women, which are much weaker than men. It is sad if it applied to just men.
- true_religion 5y agoWith one arm? I’m not sure, but with two arms certainly most women can do it. 18kg is the average weight of a 5 year old kid [1]. It’s pretty routine for women in childcare roles to pick up kids for various reasons. 1. https://www.disabled-world.com/calculators-charts/height-weight-teens.php https://www.disabled-world.com/calculators-charts/height-wei...
- t0mas88 5y agoThe average parent can definitely lift 18kg with one arm, that's the weight of a 3 year old...
- WastingMyTime89 5y agoMore than half adults are women, a third live in Asian when the average weight of an adult is 58kg. You have strong bias.
