Take a look at our relatives, a male or female chimpanzee pound for pound is about 1.5x stronger than a man and 2x stronger than a woman. Why? Because Chimps have about 70% fast-twitch muscles compared to 40% for humans.

Thank you for this actually. Did not know the physiology side of 'fastness' and how that works.
Lol I guess that makes McDavid a close relative of a chimp? Explains a few things.
