Fuck i guess we are measuring in like Baby Pony Power then
So horse power is closer to man power than actual horse power
One horsepower is defined as the amount of power required to lift 550 pounds one foot in one second.
The maximum output of a horse is around 15 horsepower
The average deadlift for a male 21-year-old is 2.6 times bodyweight. Depending on the weight class, deadlifts will range from 344lb to 582lb
It seems likely to me that there was once a man nicknamed 'horse' for his above average strength. He was used as the unit of measurement of power. Unfortunately for him, his feat has been lost to history.
