> typical body builder expends about 1 horse power while performing

Close, but ackshually...

Bodybuilders just oil up and pose in beauty pageants.

1 horsepower is basically one 250-pound bench press in one second. (550 foot pounds of work; the aforementioned bench press assumes a 2.2-foot stroke length.)

Most bodybuilders and serious weight lifters can do that, but they can't keep it up for long.

So the neutrino is just doing a PB 1RM?
Ha, that made me laugh, thanks for the correction!
Neither could this neutrino.
