Human Strength

@Pckts,
I've actually seen others tear their biceps (not sure it was a partial tear or full tear for them) whilst curling, usually because they maxed out too fast without properly warming up or stretching, or they did it when their muscles were too fatigued like I did, and that was the main reason why. I also over-exerted myself as well at the end of the curling workout. It was a complete tear of the lower two heads of the biceps (meaning the elbow area), and after the initial doctor visit, my doctor suggested me surgery and I followed his advice. About your hernia, man, that sucks. How long have you been having the pain symptom? Never had anything like that before (at least yet). And is Giga Chikadze joining Rizin as well, by any chance? Rizin is like a "new PRIDE" to me, since it was created by the original owner of PRIDE. Fedor and Cro-Cop are back to kicking ass there!

Rizin is never going to be a serious competitor IMO, too many things have come to light from the Pride days (fighters taking dives, irresponsible drug use, mismatches) In regards to my hernia, I have been having a strain in my abdomen for the last 6 months or so, especially during squats. It also coincided with my messing my back up deadlifting. It's like my body just had enough and gave me multiple injuries at once. Not fun but I'll be back, just going to have to walk the recovery road for a while. You can definitely tear your biceps from curls as will I just usually see them happen with deadlifts since most people aren't putting the same type of strain on them with curls that they do with deadlifts when done improperly. But injuries are weird, they can happen at very random times and with movements you've done 100s of times, you just never know. 
" ... it's like my body just had enough and gave me multiple injuries at once ... ". You could be close there. When you're still young and a sport you know real well results in severe injuries, the time has arrived to change a few things.
Take your time after surgery. The best way to recover, by far, is rest. Doing nothing doesn't mean you shouldn't walk, swim, bike or run. It means you should refrain from activities that require the utmost. Although those who ignored this advice (professional athletes in most cases) did recover more quickly than others, many of them later paid. Unfortunately, one seldoms reads about this 'later paid' part. When you feel your energy returning, start moving around. If you go for running, do a few miles and keep it at that. When you get older (over 30), you got to adapt. This means doing less more often. According to a recent study conducted in the UK, the best way to keep fit is to do something that requires balance. This is the best way to activate nerves. Nerves, and not pressure, seem to trigger the growth of muscles. Half an hour a day will do. After 60 minutes, the gain in fitness is zero. To continue means you're on your way to a new injury. But my guess is you already knew. Good luck with the surgery. 
Which do you prefer? https://fitness.stackexchange.com/questi...o-you-dete
I definitely prefer strongman: more real uses of strength and endurance over a enduring period of time, much like how many wild animals use their strength. The other three are sort of a one-time competition (unless you have two lifting meets in one day, which sucked for me), and usually involve much less time and stamina. I've never participated in a strongman contest and would like to do so one day.
Overall, I like to keep things real and strongman is equivalent to a grizzly trying to pull a buffalo carcass over a mile.
Have any of you seen how Mitrione manhandled Fedor at Bellator 180? Fedor should just quit fighting, he was once the best (always will be IMO) but his fighting mileage has caught with his old age.
Genotype influences muscle performance
"Elite endurance athletes commonly have mutations that result in the loss of the protein α-actinin-3, which is a major component of fast-twitch muscle fibers. Loss of α-actinin-3 is associated with reduced power, increased endurance capacity, and enhanced response to endurance training. In this issue of the [i]Journal of Clinical Investigation, Kathryn North and colleagues at the Murdoch Children's Research Institute report that the loss of ?-actinin-3 in fast-twitch muscle fibers, results in compensation by ?-actinin-2. The presence of ?-actinin-2 in fast-twitch muscle contributed to reprogramming these muscles through increased calcineurin signaling.[/i] This study provides insight into how mutations in the gene encoding ?-actinin-3 promote skeletal muscle adaptations that are advantageous to elite endurance athletes." So, endurance runners naturally have microscopic aerobic muscular advantages to their muscles.

Endurance runners need less muscle mass sucking up all their oxygen while sprinters need explosive fast twitch fibers to get off the blocks quickly. "Have any of you seen how Mitrione manhandled Fedor at Bellator 180? Fedor should just quit fighting, he was once the best (always will be IMO) but his fighting mileage has caught with his old age. " Fedor was my favorite heavyweight of all time but his avoidance of better competition and "drug testing" really made me lose respect for him. I have no doubt that fedor was using PED's, which is fine, most of his competition was as well in the pride days but still, it sits poorly with me. If he would have fought modern day heavyweights, his poor fundamentals would of cost him everything, he got away with it when fighting the likes of NOG, Fijita, sylvia, etc. But had he been forced to fight the better stand up fighters of todays generation with their superior tdd and BJJ, it would of happened sooner than later. Which is what you saw in the end against Hendo, Mitrione, Big Foot, Werdum etc. What I would of loved is to see him fight at LHW and have wars with Rampage, Shogun, Wanderlei, Arona, Guy and Hendo back in the prime Pride days. 
Polar I do not understand what you mean that we don't use 100% of our strength during an adrenaline rush, or at least an enormous amount of it. We wouldn't be able to do any of the feats other humans have done in times of a crisis. I recall watching "Human Body Pushed to the Limits-Strength". Based off of an actual event, a hiker was pinned by a rock slabbing weighing at least 1000 lbs, and was heading right off of a cliff nearly killing him, and in that great moment of life or death, he tossed it off his body, which tore several muscles all over his upper body. Without the adrenaline, he would not have been able to do that. An average person (or even most strong individuals) cannot lift or toss 1000 lbs off of their body without that boost.

Show me that account, please. I never recalled hearing that but would like to look into it. My opinion is that there must have been some sort of mechanical advantage (or he was pinned in a advantageous way) for him to shift the 1000-pound boulder off of him. Normally, we don't tend to use 100% of our strength during everyday tasks or when we are not excited or angry. However, when we get excited or angry, adrenaline flows through our nervous system activating greater/larger oxygen pathways of our muscles and greater oxidative capacity, which makes us use our full strength. But it is only a slight difference, like 10-15% only. Nothing extreme such as deadlifting 300-pounds when calm and them breaking the world record of deadlift when we are excited/angry, it's nothing like that. Plus, I found your YouTube channel. Very interesting topics!

As for my youtube channel, I had to put quite a bit of them on private because I often talked about controversial topics and these days, if someone finds your posts/videos on social media or any other hosting site, you can risk losing your job because of political correctness and people's feelings getting hurt.

Although they didn't explain the exact positioning he was in relative to the rock, they only showed a simulation of him under the rock. He might have been positioned 45 degrees to the rock, thus giving him a mechanical advantage to push the rock up since some of the gravitational force is dissipated and the rock is a (mostly) rotational object. Also he was rolling down along with the rock, and due to that acceleration of the rock, it would have been easier to push it rather then if he was on a leveled surface. Another thing. Who knows if that rock was actually 1000-pounds? It may have just been 100-, 200-, or 300-pounds at max. Assuming that rock has similar density to most other rocks we see everyday on this planet, a rock of the size shown here couldn't have been 1000-pounds. His account and the simulation of his account says things slightly differently. As for my YouTube channel, I do swear quite a bit and curse a lot, but I don't plan on monetizing my videos for the next 3 years. Basically, until I graduate and get my first job out of university. I don't know how this will affect my job security in the future, but I want to create an audience and make a big impact on them as well as using my channel as a way to increase connections and opportunities outside of my personal career. How's your life going?

And when I went to university I got lazy regarding my lifting (because of academic stress - Engineering major), gained 20 pounds in my first semester and 30 more in my second, and, when, I went back to lifting the summer after my first school year and noticed that I got much weaker (only a 505-pound deadlift at maximum). Now in my second year, I am still too lazy to exercise, but am starting to lose weight sitting at 265 instead of 285 after 3 months of ketosis. Hopefully willing to gain my strength back and get myself back into heavy lifting. However, I would still like to continue to compete in amateur MMA, and one never knows, I might just reach RIZIN!
