Human muscles are capable of extending up to 3 times more forcefully than they ever actually do. The only reason they stay at the 1/3 limit is due to safeguards in the brain. If a muscle were to fully activate, it would break our bones and rip off tendons. These limits built into the brain cannot be overcome.
...UNLESS the person has adrenaline in their system. Adrenaline tells the brain it needs to operate at full potential. The brain will then allow the muscles to achieve amazing feats of strength, while risking possible self-injury. But when you're about to be attacked by a bear, being able to kill it means that a broken arm is worth it.
Additionally, the drug PCP is also able to remove these restrictions. That means that many users end up injuring themselves, and yes, even breaking their own bones.
What other quirks and tricks do you know of that our bodies are capable of?
if that were actually true someone would've tried it already for weightlifting/pl/strongman
Grayson Reed
it is true. But there is no way (that i know of) to get adrenaline into the system besides a life or death situation. Pop is very dangerous and all the time videos on youtube people high on PCP fighting with cops it takes 4-6 to fight a dyel manlet Mexican
Nolan Lewis
Isn't that part of why there are drug tests etc? Also.. Never heard of extreme feats of strength under duress? Like a house mom lifting a Buick to save her kid.
Adrian Hill
Tummo meditation is pretty cool. Its meditation that takes advantage of the ability raise your body temperature to survive the cold.
Evan Morris
Can it alter muscle use? Even going from 1/3rd to 1/2 would be an absurd gain.
Jeremiah King
I heard that listening to music you enjoy can make you up to twice as resistant to pain. So can holding money apparently, even if you know you cant keep it.
David Bennett
biggest bullshit I've ever heard
Brody Kelly
>if something was possible then someone would have done it already Literally loser thinking.
Robert Jones
I seriously doubt it's 3x
Parker Powell
The music I could see as helping. The money I'm not so sure.
> two people going for a jog > one has an iPod > one has a fist of $20's > taking bets on who gets mugged
Henry Ramirez
>Like a house mom lifting a Buick to save her kid
That means that a house mom has 1/3 the strength to lift a Buick, which is itself bullshit. A lot of those reports come from people who just experienced great trauma and probably have no clue what actually happened.
Gavin Hill
I think they used electric shocks to test it or something. Also I imagine the effect money has is proportionate to how much its worth.
Julian James
How much would you need to lift to get a buick a bit off the ground?
Joshua Robinson
so technically speaking, what if you were to strengthen your bones through diet and exercise, but also your tendons. Could you get to 1.5x?
Nathaniel Kelly
There is a family in america that has bones that are three times denser than usual. The only reason this was discovered was because a couple members of the family survived being hit by cars repeatedly.
Adrian Lewis
The potential. I would alter my DNA to steal that bit.
Dylan Turner
You don't need to lift the weight of the whole car in that example. You only need to lift one end a few inches.
Zachary Roberts
>powerlifting >drug tests pick one
Dylan Barnes
In the scenario that you need to move it like 4 inches to pull a body out, factoring in the lever action of the ground, it'd probably be at least 1000 pounds, more if you grab it from the front and have to lift the engine as well.
Nathan Walker
probably. shit dude meditation is all about breaking down mental barriers so being able to trigger that would be do able
Liam Clark
That still is a fuckton of weight. We're talking about cars here, not your moped.
Landon Garcia
Meditation is about selling books and seminars to yuppies.
Xavier Wood
>tfw you will never have myostatin-related muscle hypertrophy
Julian Hill
Clearly we need to add a Buick lifting segment to strong man competitions to settle this.
Joshua Hill
We also only use 10% of our brains. Imagine how smart we'd be if the chains came off.
Bentley Bailey
This.
Plus meditations Plus dense bones
Hulk Smash in the near future through genetics.
Asher Campbell
I mean, there's a reason why in shit like Fast and Furious movies they show a Vin Diesel or The Rock type lifting a car up a few inches to show that the character is supernaturally strong.
Daniel Rivera
How about a shot of adrenaline? They jam those straight into your chest sometimes when you go into cardiac arrest. I guess you could use them out of those situations too? Would probably be dangerous though
Ryan Bennett
That myth is from a pseudo science quack and has been disproven for longer than most denizens of this board have been alive.
Camden Clark
Those epi pens ain't huge either. You could probably sneak a quick hit at a meet before a big lift pretty easily. Just compress the device down to finger prick size.
Sebastian Taylor
Fuck what is the possibility of members of your family being repeatedly hit by cars? Was the family also inbred retards?
Jack Butler
Same goes for this "you only use 33% of your muscles" shit. The real number is probably more like 80% but normies want to think they could outlift world record holders given the right conditions.
Jayden Hughes
The only times I've heard about cars actually being lifted is when the people lift them from the back, so away from the engine block. And since the whole thing is on a lever (the car itself being the lever, the front wheels being the point of fulcrum), the pressure you have to apply is significantly less.
Here is a video of Pudzianowski lifting a car 11 times with excellent gripping applied thanks to the bar they've attached to the car (only 10 reps counted because he dropped the bar on the last one). So it's certainly possible for a regular human being to do it once if Pudz can do it 11 fucking times.
What would you bet that they aren't doing this right now
Andrew Richardson
dang you found me out and I was going to give everyone a great deal of 20% off on the book meditation for ape strength on amazon.
Isaiah Phillips
No, they were spread out across the entire country even. It was some dude and his grandad who got hit and in different parts of the country. A doctor noticed his weird bones and compared them to some other guy he heard about with weird bones and discovered by chance that they were related.
Henry Walker
There was a dude in Virginia who got hit by lightning 7 times and survived them all.
Adam Nelson
Dude needs to lower his iron intake and stay the fuck out of cornfields.
Jordan Howard
you can end up breaking you own bones and even back during seizures too
