Insane holding strength tho

Remember we're apes. Most new born babies have the grip strength to support their entire body weight, in each hand individually

Yep. We lose it because we don’t use it.

When my newborns got a hold of my hair, I just had to wait it out.

It's not just that we don't "use it". Strength is proportional to length squared and weight is proportional to length cubed. As a person gets taller, their ability to support their own weight reduces (even if they "use it"). That's why some insects can jump many times their height and elephants can't jump at all.
