Ant body parts are designed for their size. They look spindly because of the ratio of body mass to cross sectional area is low. Coz we are bigger, we need more cross sectional area to support our mass.
So, if an ant can carry say 5 times its body weight, then if we were shrunk down to ant size (but our body proportions remained the same), how many times our own body weight could we lift?

man is weak because of its physoligical and biological composition. man would have been very terrrified of being eaten or killed by larger insects or creatures its a physological effect.
and bilogically man is weak because of our body is not made for such hard works. whereas ants climbs trees moves long distance can lift alot of load and many many thing more.
answer to your question is that we wouldnt be able to lift even a gram if we were of a size of an ant. as a gram would be alot more heavier than our body.
moreover we are the most intelligent creatures on earth."the best of all creation"
