I'm almost 73 years old, have always been fit, but I've never had that ability.

Why are you nitpicking? Admit you have lost the argument and move on. Even if we change it to the level of a marathon, which many people do, what other animal can run that far?

The reason that ants can lift so much is due to a concept of physics known as scaling. In fact the muscles of ants are no stronger than human muscles, but it is their small size that provides their advantage. Ants can lift so much because of the ratio between their body size and body mass; their small size means they do not have a large body mass and the proportion of their mass that is muscle is very high.
As a result they are able to lift weights that are many times larger than their own body weight.

Can't these folks afford a car or even a scooter?
