random indeed.
but there are 2,000 pounds in one ton.
Guessing that he is thinking the Metric Tonne which is 1,000 kgLuckySmiles said:
The British ton is the long ton, which is 2240 pounds, and the U.S. ton is the short ton which is 2000 pounds.
Both tons are actually defined in the same way. 1 ton is equal to 20 hundredweight. It is just the definition of the hundredweight that differs between countries. In the U.S. there are 100 pounds in the hundredweight, and in Britain there are 112 pounds in the hundredweight. This causes the actual weight of the ton to differ between countries.
To distinguish between the two tons, the smaller U.S. ton is called short, while the larger British ton is called long.
There is also an third type of ton called the metric ton, equal to 1000 kilograms, or approximately 2204 pounds. The metric ton is officially called tonne. The SI standard calls it tonne, but the U.S. Government recommends calling it metric ton.

Well, I would have to deduct points for knowledge of weights & measures, on the other hand a 1,155lbs deadlift is quite impressive, (and he made it look easy), and he had the sub-forum spot on, so I gave him a thank. :thumbleft:Hoy said:
Oh, and Dane would get a 2Xthank if there was such a thing, for the education @tonne.

Me too, with a forklift (I think).
It makes me wonder how strong the first hunter/gathers were. Are we stronger or weaker than the first people? And how much in either way, for the average member to the elites of each group over time.

I can state with certainty that our "elite" strong men are much much stronger then the first men. Depending on what you classify as "strength".
From a hunter/gatherer standpoint, having giant muscles would actually be a hindrance. Lifting 1,155 while impressive would rarely be useful. The problem with having too much muscle is that those muscles require a lot of blood, and the body can only sustain them for so long. After lengthy strenuous activity that blood will then calcify and cause the muscle man to be much stiffer. There is a point of negative gain when packing on too much muscle.
When it came to hunting, the most common form was "persistance hunting". Which uses a combination of running and walking, to pursue prey to the point of exhaustion. While humans can sweat to reduce body heat, quadrupedal prey need to slow from a gallop in order to pant and reduce their heat. Although deer are much faster then humans, they can only keep up that pace for a short amount of time before becoming exhausted and easy prey.
Cardio, not "lifting strength", would have been far more important.

You are forgetting an important fact. The ladies like the muscles, so males tend to have them. Even herbivores with no natural predators, like kangaroos. The males look super buff, but have increased death rates in times of scarcity.
I'm sure the OP meant just over half a ton, which pretty much means the same thing if is for half a ton, tonne or short ton.
