Human Body and Strength Underrated

[ecivon]

FSN had a show on yesterday on strength and whether the human body should be considered a weapon. It started with examining martial arts and measuring the physical impacts certain items had on a test dummy that could measure pounds of impact. A crow bad was used and measured approx. 3300 lbs. of impact, a baseball bat measured 6,800 lbs. of impact and the most impact came from a bamboo martial arts pole that measured in extreme lbs.

The most impressive part of the program showed the Pumphrey brothers. These cats could exert some unbelievable amounts of destruction with their bare hands, feet, heads and shoulders. The smallest of the two destroyed three large stacks of concrete slabs simultaneously with each hand and with his forehead. They also measured the impacts they had with measuring tools and what inertia they delivered was mind boggling. They compared one of the bare fist punches through a huge pile of concrete slabs as the same as a vehicle running into a solid wall at 30 mph, something like 28,000 lbs of force was generated. The biggest of the two weighed 275 lbs. and put his shoulder completely through at least 6 feet of hard ice and shattered the entire horizontal stack. They showed it in slow motion where you could visually see the shock wave from the impact of his shoulder traveling through the ice and shattering it to pieces and the shock wave reversing and throwing the guy backwards.

Goes to show what the human body can be capable of.

yeah lets put a human vs an animal in the wild, lets see who wins in a bare fight

[Snrf]

what kind of animal?

I happen to think I could take a water rat one on one....and you could tie one hand behind my back

it wouldn't be a bare fight, because in a fight each opponent will use his or her (or its) best strengths. while animal's strengths are pretty obvious, humans use intelligence and creativity (the gun and other weapons) to ensure victory.

so on an elementary level of just physical comparison, it is obvious that some animals are stronger, faster, and deadlier than us humans. so in that respect you're right. other than that...your post was stupid.

lets plop you in the wild and see hwo long you last, lets see how far "education" goes

[Triple X]

It's all fake

[cfiler]

Cool. I wish I could punch that hard.

damn imagine taking a blindside hit on the football field by the dude that ran thorugh the ice

[chest6]

Ive always wondered bout the dudes that put their hands through concrete etc.

Is it real? How do they not break their hands or bleed..?

The force of the jab is stronger than the threshold of the concrete. so the concrete breaks before their hand does. you have to have an insanely strong mindset that you will break it, and you have to hit it dead on. I've seen many guys bleed and break their hands attempting it. what happens is that subconsciously you slow down and decrease the force before you hit a target. you have to imagine that your target is actually a few feet behind where it actually is

Precisely. You aim for a point past the object, not at the object.
