How Heavy Humans Can Theoretically Lift

[@CuriousReason]

I added both Imperial and Metric systems as almost half of the viewers I get are from the US and so that everybody in and outside of the US can understand. As for video, rabbit-hole goes deeper, there is a thing called maximum voluntary muscular force (MVMF) I didn't want to add because KZbin doesn't like longer videos. So MVMF is the greatest amount of force a person can generate using their muscles under voluntary control. It's a difficult concept to pin down, as the MVMF of an individual can vary depending on factors such as age, gender, and training history. However, research suggests that the average person's MVMF is around 60-70% of their maximal muscle force. Now, let's put this into context. The current world record for the heaviest weight ever lifted by a human is 263.5 kilograms (581 pounds) in the clean and jerk category, set by Lasha Talakhadze of Georgia in 2021. If we assume that Talakhadze was operating at 70% of his maximal muscle force, we can extrapolate that his theoretical lifting capacity might be around 376.4 kilograms (830 pounds)!

[@Markmygame]

The issue of that assessment is that ppl who regularly lift maximally incidentally train their voluntary max to be closer and closer to their involuntary max. A high level weightlifter like him would actually be using around 90% of his involuntary max.

[@DomFortress]

And at what cost to the tendons, before a catastrophic structural failure as a result of torn tendons, simply because we overridden our safety limiter? Free weights aren't variable resistance, yet only the latter allows us to safely lift heavier for our tendons and muscles near the full range of motion. As for the news paper reports on hysterical strength, how much of the entire weight of the vehicle in question is consistently present during the full range of motion? I mean for anyone who've flipped heavy tires during bootcamps, did the weight of that tire stayed consistently throughout the entire motion, or did it shifted in relation to its center of gravity relative to its pivot?

[@E-Pluribus-Unum]

If you think about it, she didn’t lift 3,500 lbs, it would’ve quite literally snapped bone, ligaments and the muscle clean off the bone. She only had to lift around a third or maybe quarter of that weight to get her son out.

[@hasturthekinginyellow5003]

I mean, basically all instances of hysterical strength end up with the savior being in the hospital: in one instance a boy save his brother by lifting a car, in the process he snapped both his forearms, ripped his biceps and crushed 3 teeth. In another a mother who fought a bear to save her daughter ended up with both her arms broken and she was fighting with on a leg that the bear had broken. Etc,etc, etc. Hysterical strength is not something meant to be used constantly, is a last ditch effort to survive, is the body deciding that it's possible to survive if it destroys itself.

she lifted the backside of the car which only weighs around 500 pounds, she had adrenaline which also boosted the blood flow and helped her lift the car, a man pushed a 2 ton boulder off of him while he got caught under it rolling down a cliff but severley damaged all of the muscles used to push it off and needed about a year to make a good recovery, your body will use all of the muscle fibers when you have a life or death situation which causes your muscles to become extremley weak after you do something to that extent.

I feel like Eddie is being robbed for not being mentioned for lifting the magic 500 number. And he did it in a competition, while Thor lifted the 501 at home, so he had the advantage of choosing to lift at his peak, and Eddie actually had to program his training plan for the competition, which makes it more impressive imo.

[@lbds954]

A few misleading things here. First of all, Thor *didn't* have the advantage of choosing his peak. He was actually scheduled to do the lift in a competition. But, when Covid struck and the competition was cancelled, he *had* to do it in a gym instead *because* he had reached his peak at that time and couldn't wait around. So in regards to prep, Thor and Eddie were on equal ground. Both were scheduled to do the lift on a certain date, and both stuck to that. Second, Eddie might have technically been present at a competition during his 500kg lift, but he didn't truly partake as a competitor because he didn't follow any competition rules. He only did the deadlift event, no others. He also got to dictate the weight jumps during the deadlifts *at the expense of other competitors* for his own comfort. Brian Shaw had to drop out early because of this, as Eddie decided in the middle of the comp to increase the weight more quickly than initially planned for his own comfort. And on top of this, he also got to choose his own rest times and decide when he lifted on the day. Plus, he also used some of his own gear, and is on record saying he used his own bar. So Eddie used his own equipment, chose his own weight jumps, chose his own rest times, and chose not to compete in anything but the deadlift that day, some of which had a negative effect on the other strongmen competing - *none* of that follows competition standards in any way, shape, or form. The whole event was catered around him to help him achieve his lift. Then, when you look at the fact that Thor *did* have predetermined weights jumps and predetermined rest times that he rigidly stuck to for his lift, as though he were in a competition, it's actually very clear that Thor followed competition standards much more closely than Eddie did. And just to clarify, I'm not trying to discredit Eddie's lift. Both lifts were performed in front of a qualified judge with calibrated weights, so both are clearly legitimate and recognised records. But Eddie's lift was not more impressive, as Thor actually followed stricter standards. I just find it funny that Eddie is so determined to hypocritically undermine Thor's lift for not being *in competition* when Thor actually followed competition standards far more closely than Eddie himself did.

[@Tork789]

@@lbds954 Facts are facts, Thor did it out of competition, his lift still counts, but it wasn't in a competition, and it wasn't a round number, which makes it less impressive for me personally, you of course are free to disagree. And for the other stuff that you mentioned, that honestly feels like slandering, I bet if Eddie did anything to the detriment of other lifters or even simply bent the rules to his advantage, Thor would object as he was present in that competition. So this "stricter standards" line of argument sounds dubious to me.

[@lbds954]

@@Tork789 I mean yes, you can very much make an argument that Eddie's lift was more impressive due to the huge jump in weight compared to a 1kg jump. I'm not arguing that at all. I'm just pointing out the objective fact that Thor actually followed a far stricter regiment on the day of the lift, which is in response to you saying Thor had more advantages - which he objectively didn't for the reasons I outlined. It's also not "slander" at all as it's all unarguably true. You can research it for yourself. Brian Shaw himself has said that he had to drop out of the competition earlier than he planned to because Eddie chose to up the weights more quickly than scheduled. That, paired with Eddie getting to choose his own rest times and use his own equipment (which he has admitted to on camera during an interview) show that Eddie was very heavily catered to in order to help him achieve the lift. And I'm also not saying that any of this means Eddie's lift shouldn't count. It absolutely should, as Eddie performed the lift with calibrated weights in front of a qualified judge. Just like Thor's lift should also count for the same reasons. My point is that, while *both* Thor and Eddie met the necessary requirements for the lift to count, Thor actually went a step beyond and followed far stricter standards than Eddie did. He did this deliberately due to the circumstances with Covid, as he wanted to make sure there would be no question whatsoever that he achieved the lift legitimately. And Eddie claiming it needs to be done "in competition" retroactively is hypocritical, as he didn't follow "competition" standards during his own lift. All of this is easily researchable if you don't believe me, and you can look everything I've said up for yourself. My stance is this: both lifts count as both lifts met the necessary requirements. But if Eddie wants to start changing those requirements and claiming a lift needs to follow competition standards to be official, his own lift wouldn't count either. He only took that stance because of his rivalry with Thor, but it makes absolutely no sense as he himself didn't follow competition rules. Again, both lifts count - it's just that Eddie's reasoning for saying his own lift should count whereas Thor's shouldn't is hypocritical and makes no sense.

[@TheGreatSeraphim]

The absolute limit of our lifting strength is based on the load capacity of our femur. Which is around one metric tonne of load. Varying slightly from person to person depending on size, health, gender, etc. But ultimately how our bones are designed puts a cap on how much we can lift because our bones are designed like the crumple zones of a car, meant to flex and break to absorb impacts from things like falls.

Forgetting that people who train more have denser bones and people who are larger have the force spread out over a larger cross section. Also the ultimate strength is based on the weakest link of any specific lift. Usually this is around a joint, which is why ligament, tendon and dislocations are much more common than broken bones in powerlifting/weightlifting. The exceptions to this are when significant load is applied to a locked joint, or twisting force is applied that does not exceed the load of the muscles but does of the bone (see Magnus Samuelsson vs Nathan Jones)

(I might be mistaking correct me if you know better)

No you are definitely right. Watched a video from Eddie Hall where he also spoke about this incident.

There's not much to talk about veins and arteries. Everyone has them. You want any better you have to hope for good genetics and have a healthy lifestyle. Blood pressure is more of side effect. It's the muscles and bones taken the workload. The heavier the workload the more blood flow is required to move the muscles.

What excites me about CRISPR is that these new super humans will be able to remove the limitations the body has when we start colonizing space. A major problem the human body has is that bones start to disappear when in zero gravity. If CRISPR can isolate that auto switch so it doesn't do that we then don't have to worry about building gravitational technology (spinning ships) to prevent bone loss. Same with growing new limbs if they have been amputated. It is super exciting, but scary because no doubt super humans will be used by ambitious nations to conquer one another. I wouldn't be surprised the CCP has already secretly grown super humans with CRISPR technology seeing as they don't give a damn about human rights.

Preventing bones from disappearing where no pressures are applied will only result in bones growing anywhere they can, for the entire life, rather than where they are actually needed. You will have to go through surgeries to remove undesired bone structures every few months. There has to be some kind of feedback control mechanism for any part that grows to grow correctly.

How did you leave out body mechanics? How your skeleton is proportioned and where the ligaments attach has just as much to do with strength as muscle fiber, bone density, etc. That's by far the biggest reason gorillas are so much stronger than elite human athletes.

@@A1_Amir If you were born when your parents were 30, how could anything they do after that effect your genes? Isn't evolution shaped mostly by reproductive advantage and surviving near extinction events?

[@japanesecar1501]

Is it ? IDK how much different they really are. I don't even know anymore, but I think that is "kind of debunked". Gorillas and other just train mega hard, and they are happy doing it, this in turn makes their joint and bones huge and dense, and their strength reflects that, lb for lb. We train very little, and use as little strength as possible. We still share mostly the same mechanisms for regulation and growth as they do, but we stimulate those less, due to having more nuanced behaviour. I know chimps did some pulls on a pulley, a female did some 800-900 lb janks, but a human could do it too. The balance of where does mental stimulation begin and end, and what is needed, needs cutting into, to understand what really is different between us. They train every day, and they like it, mostly because of their "somwehat" hardwired physiological differences, but the biggest of the bone differences is tied to brain, its size, and being effective while standing. A human with a simpler brain could, perhaps, very well approach the conditioning of a more wild, natural ape. While I do believe we have some shaping as per this topic, we are largely the same, if not almost the same. I thibk the difference is, by far, mostly neurological, and of training history. No athlete will ever put as much effort nonchalantly as a wild ape, as they are subconsciously bound to the rate and timing of the society around them, and how the individual reacts and influences the others, every sport is finding "the human way", and politics, and a mental endeavour alltogether. The active rest and ease of work a chimp can do isn't reached by athletes at large. You cannot push against the clock, steroids and hormones need counterbalance, and in the end, you inflate the rest, always sub-optimally, and nothing really changes, you just get old fast, and parts of you super fast, which damages long term progress, and then you lean into being "a freak" that can withstand superhuman muscle loading, despite being damaged from the inside. It's all in the stable and steady- nuance and simplicity. You are bound to eventually outperfom users( not saying it's all in stone, but hear me), you are more effective, and age slower, you are more sensitive to anabolism- only need a 1/20 the chemical stimulation for 80% the outcome-. When you use you throw nuance out of the window, you accept side-effects for diminishing returns per- time, invite ineveitable imbalance induced damage- health is strength. I am not saying that nautrals will be as jacked as users, but they can grow bigger and healthier, eventually ending up stronger, with a peak well beyond breaking age of most athletes, and then, being better. But that cannot be done with fake incentives and for fake external goals. Many of the strong people, and giant men around, are so due to having a more balanced in and out, and are still of a stronger foundation, and in places stronger full stop, than the best juiced athletes in all of modern history. Health is wealth, as is being of substance all around.

[@kevingray4980]

@@japanesecar1501 wow. What a reply. I enjoyed every word, but I think we are talking about different things. There's a peak fitness level determined by genes, and I'm sure most humans are less likely to get as close to it as apes living in nature, but then there's the mechanics of the individual. For instance, my brother in law has limbs proportioned differently than mine, with a shorter upper arm and thighs compared to forearm. You wouldn't notice unless you looked for it, but once you pay attention it's obvious. This changes the leverage, giving him about a 10% advantage on how much weight he can bench press assuming the muscles are exactly the same strength. However, in one lift I am performing more work as the bar travels a greater distance. So in a punch I will generate more energy. We can train equally hard, but there's always going to be that tradeoff where I will have more power if left to my own devices but it won't will lose on that strength check. I can run with a higher speed, but not match the acceleration.These imbalances are part of what makes comparing different athletes so intriguing. Now the difference between a human and ape are far more pronounced. From an engineering perspective, they're built much sturdier, but less energy efficient. Our relative flimsiness is the price we pay for being able to travel over 50 miles a day via bipedal movement. No amount of training will enable a gorilla to match that feat.

I used to service heavy industrial machines with gigantic sized bolts and nuts. I'm talking size 50s and way beyond. These devices usualy came out of accident or fires so these bolts would usually be extra grippy on top of their normal strength. A simple way to unscrew these is to attach the fitting wrench to them, find a meter or longer steel pipe which is about the same width of the tool and get the pipe on it. Then you get a hammer you find suitable and tap at the end of the pipe. Very quickly you'll see the bolt or nut loosening and coming off easily. If the bolt isn't broken or welded itself somewhere requiring to be cut, you can use leverage for your benefit here. HOWEVER! Don't play around with devices you don't recognize and you are not trained with. Don't ever try to remove anyting on machines you don't know! I heard a terrible story of a guy removing bolts from the cap of a still highly pressurized air compressor reservoir. The reservoir itself was 1 meter wide, 2 meters tall approximately with big bolts holding its cap. Sadly, when he came to the stage where the remaining bolts couldn't hold the cap anymore, they failed catastrophically and the cap exploded upwards towards his face and removed his head clean off.

This is very true, One time at my job my boss told me to hire 4 friends plus me to lift a tractor engine that was around 600lbs, I was able to push it onto a pallet jack by myself, I was able to move it with it, but at the time of putting it on to a pallet the engine got stuck between the arms of the pallet jack, I ask to my friends for help but they were busy, I decided to do it myself again, I tried several times for about a week, I tried not hurting myself, but I tried lifting it to the point I felt my knees shaking, I finally gave up a Friday, the following Monday I tried again for the last time, I don't know how and I can't explain it but I was able to lift it in my first intent and push it on to the pallet and it wasn't even that hard, I don't know how the body works but that amazed my self, I'm not a big muscular guy but I was able to do that without hurting myself or my knees

It's funny, people were selected to become as nimble and efficient as possible, large muscles were a liability to famine, disease, and endurance, but in the modern era, we attempt to produce the largest and strongest versions of ourselves.

Small correction. The official deadlift is still eddie hall. But the unofficial world record is haftor

[@jarfmusic]

I pulled 2.8x my own bodyweight deadlifting with only about 6 months of training and zero prior powerlifting training. Truth was that I psyched myself up completely before that lift kinda like how Eddie hall did his 500kg record at the time. I probably have good genetics mind you because I was adding 10kg onto my max every 1-2 weeks (fully natural). I do genuinely think that mindset is everything and psyching yourself up is important - and then when you break your theoretical limits and get proper rest, your nervous system and muscles recover to THAT level partially.

[@AdornedProduct1]

How much you deadlift?

[@jarfmusic]

@@AdornedProduct1 180kg

[@Harry-TramAnh]

So you trained for 26 weeks and added 10kg to your lift every 1/2 weeks? Let's call it every 2 weeks making it a total of 130kg added to your deadlift, so your starting weight was 50kg at around 60kg body weight? That would make you very weak to begin with and also give you 5 years gym progression in 6 months. Starting to seem a bit doubtful.

[@jarfmusic]

@@Harry-TramAnh I'd never trained deadlift before and would exclusively do high reps. The vid is actually up on my channel if you want to watch it. FYI I've been doing endurance all my life and recently started gym so I wasn't weak. There was a lot of form and callusing that was needed.

[@Harry-TramAnh]

@jarfmusic I'm not calling b.s on the lift, it's definitely achievable. I'm saying adding 10kg to your lift every 1/2 weeks for 6 months isn't possible, it's not a realistic achievement for anyone. If you're already in good shape, then your deadlift to begin with isn't going to be as low as you're proposing. Sorry I can't find the video, you're thumbnails are difficult to look through for me. I've seen those pull ups though, dam, that's good 👍

"Super mouse"

[@antifreeze-30degrees49]

No gene edits, no steroids, not even SARMs (SARMs is half as good as steroids with almost no side effects, but I don't want to be a SARM goblin). Just good old fashioned ADHD power or maybe Geranamine (Geranium Extract, DMAA, Dimethylamylamine) and good old fashioned titanium foam bones for wolverine bones to lift 20,000lbs+. IT'S OVER NINE THOUSAND!!! Mega-bones! Bones so strong due to titanium foam, you could lift 25,000lbs to 100,000lbs+ and effortlessly survive high speed car crashes with no broken bones. Wolverine bones is the future! Super mouse indeed, but with Wolverine bones to raise the limits of gains to unimaginable levels. Galactic unit Super Mouse the size of Gigantic Galapagos Turtles (Like huge bolders).

[@heath_00000]

Yes it was. It was sanctioned by WSM.

[@shahidchaudhary52]

nahh its difficult, because u have more risk of injury in your spine.. because you've bend more and you're not as stable as a short guy who is more grounded compared to you.. and be cause your tall.. you'll have to lift it a little higher to call it a rep....

[@hellno8996]

5:56 she never lifted that much, she didnt lift the entire car. she lifted a part of it, which weights much less

[@Forty-K]

It still proves thes point tho, she had no prior weight training but still managed to lift way more than she possibly ever could in day to day life

[@soronos8586]

As the man in the thumbnail I can confirm these estimates as accurate.

[@fireboyisme]

The world record dead lift is held by Eddie Hall, not the Mountain. Eddie did it in an official event. Give credit where its due

Hachimon Tonkou. The 8 Inner Gates. The 8th gate is the death gate. Opening it imbues one with otherworldly strength for a period but results in the demise of the user. The lesser gates provide superhuman strength as well but result in severe damage to the body commensurate with how far one pushes past their natural limiters.

It's true some people have that condition which makes their bones very dense think it's genetic... These kind of people have been reported to have come out of car accidents with no skeletal injuries

@@shoaibhaq8680 You can still technically increase bone density doing isometrics, look up Dennis Rogers. He went to a special Ed gym due to how feeble he was. But look at him now breaking locks, bending wrenches, and holding planes from taking off. I believe one of his students was able to jump 20ft off the ground without breaking anything.
