Is there limit to human strength?
>>
Is there a limit to your stupidity is the better question
>>
>>36801653
Yes.

But let's be honest here, limits are often set because of old age, injury, or you reached your genetic potential.
Beside, don't fight or flight reactions give you temporary strength boost?
>>
>>36801647
Yes, unfortunately. People display enormous strength in life-theatening situations when the brain switches the limiter off, but that usually leads to permanent muscle damage, that's why it's limited in the first place.

How heavy is the average tree?
>>
>>36801702
Depends on the kind of tree and it's age so 'heavy as fuck' would be the most accurate answer to your question.

i thought yoyr brain limits the force cause you would hurt yourself if it didnt.

explains above the avg strenght of fedora tippers
>>
>>36801647
Yes. The World's Strongest Man and Arnold Strongman competitions are an empirical attempt to find that limit.
>>
>>36801647
'no'.
>>
>>36801684
this, there's enough stories of parents doing ridiculous things to save children that there must be some truth to it
>>
>>36802167
Find me such a story

But they're all just stories and there is no evidence.

Look at mentally challenged people, like schizophrenia. You need 4 people on each of of their limb and a fifth person with a syringe to calm them down.
>>
>>36801647
yes. ligaments and t3ndons and bones have limits to their strength.
>>
>>36801702
maybe like 10, or 20.
>>
>>36803486
> mentally challenged people, like schizophrenia.

mate, what are you talking about?
mentally challenged refers to impaired cognitive functions, usually people with Down Syndrome/retards.
schizophrenia is a mental disorder, but there is no intelligence impairment.
>>
>>36803486
rather look at those people high on PCP, they are supposedly crazy strong and you need to gang up on them to take them down
>>
>>36801684
The snippet of a document/piece of news abou that guy who pushed a huge fucking boulder off him comes to mind.

Dude tore like all of his arm muscles in the process
>>
The term for this superhuman strength seems to be "Hysterical strength". The following wikipedia article has some examples:

>>
>>36803486
that's because you can't just HEEM them, they're patients. You need a lot of people to restrain someone without hurting them. If you wanted to just spark them out it'd be as easy as doing it to anyone else

>Beside, don't fight or flight reactions give you temporary strength boost?
To a well-trained athlete, not really.
