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!

Video dramatization but yeah that's the instance. 

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.

Wow. 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.
