[@guyhaskins3829]

@@burr69 No bare handed man is beating a Bear in a fight, he is just the strongest MAN. Big bears can get up to 1,000 to 1500 pounds or more in mass, has 10× the bone density of a human, has a bite force that can crush a bowling ball, and a paw swipe that can decapitate a moose with one swipe. Man never goes into bear territory without a shotgun, from the beginning of time man has never hunted dangerous animals until they were able to get weapons. If Shaw or any wsm could take on a bear or a dangerous wild animals they would have already done it to prove their stronger. Anyone who has come up against a bear with no weapon ended up dead. Strength wise- A 1,000 pound grizzly bear easily sent a 700 pound dumpster end over end like it was a beach ball( in a strength test ) while the world's strongest men had to put effort to back carry a 600 pound piano. Not to mention it took shaw everything he could do, to get a 350 pound ( shape doubles the weight said by Shaw so maybe 700 pound) cannon on his shoulders and was exhausted while it's been shown 700 pounds to a playful, calm grizzly is nothing, not to mention that same calm grizzly easily lifted a 675 pound rock with one paw, while the world's strongest men could barely manage a 312 and 450 pound rock in one hand dead lift style without it tearing their hands apart. So no man can handle a grizzly, its confirmed one swipe could decapitate a man or snap his neck.

Adrenaline is one thing but a 1000 pound canon would tear muscle and crush bone, no amount of adrenaline can beat that.

PostSniper- no, those are just myths, the story you’re talking about isn’t all there is to it, the son was stuck under the rear of the car, most of the cars weight is in front, now you’re looking at 600-700 lbs in hand, she lifted the car enough to prevent her son from being crushed. However there’s nothing in the world that’s going to make an untrained woman pick up that weight, so what’s happening here? The answer is the suspension of the car was helping her lift it a few inches higher, enough to get her son out from under the car. Sadly in reality she lifted probably no more than 300lbs.

Even if he did, he most likely would've died subsequently. Look up Eddie Hall beating the world record in deadlift I think it was, you actually see what happens with the body when they're in that place.
