What is the absolute limit to human strength?

We take an average human man and at gun point we put him through the most insane routine imaginable. Our goal is to have him be able to lift and support as much weight as possible. He can lift this weight in whatever position we want him to.We can use roids on him preformance enhancing drugs of any kind frick even use electric shocks to get him to use 100% of his muscle power during this lift. How much weight can he lift? My guess is 7500lbs.

    supposedly about 6000 pounds before absolute catastrophic failure for a peak level genetics guy with every ped known to exist in deadly quantities and maxed out adrenaline/fight or flight mode. Maybe 3000-4500 for a normie.

      What prevents from going further though? Is it just a matter of not being able to grow or support any more muscle nutritionally? Do muscles and tendons just fail and snap in half past this point? Why exactly is this the limit?

        Skeleton, tendons and muscles ripping up like paper towels. You'd probably have several massive strokes in the process too.

    You guys are fricking insane. The average person has absolute peak potential for maybe 2000lbs. Probably much less.

        I don't give a frick, whay you are describing is absolutely insane.
        The heaviest that any strongman event has done for yoke is 1550 lbs or so.
        So, they have to move it, but I doubt if you move the weight to 2500 most of the guys would even be able to break it off the ground. The people in question are undeniable genetic freaks, roided to the breasts.
        You sre telling me the average person can do fricking 7500? You must be one of those morons that thinks he could fistfight an elephant.

          Several females have lifted 3000+ pound cars off of their kids and some guys have flat out flipped them like in movies, they all got extremely injured in the process but yes the body is shockingly strong if it needs to be.

            NTA but if you think they're lifting a genuine 3000 pounds you're a moron. When they calculated a car deadlift in strongman you end up lifting around 1/3 the weight of the car because you're lifting only part of it. Think before (You) type nonsense like that again FFS

              Don't need to it's out there and if you can't accept it you are a poop pants. Why should I satisfy your curiosity when I already know the answers?

    If the world record deadlift is 1100 lbs why do you think it would be close to 7x that. The world record holder trained their entire life too.

    If you mean moving weight from a physics standpoint than I think if the best powerlifter got fat as shit like 700lb and under ideal conditions as you just described they could still probably only apply their bodyweight + 800 lbs in any direction

    >this is napkin math and going off memory so eat my wiener if you take this seriously
    If we use Casey Butts formulas to see what the maximum natural bodyweight could be at 25% bodyfat (the ideal bodyfat for strongman) for a 5'10" man with average bone thickness we'd get a maximum bulked bodyweight of 255 with a lean mass of roughly 191 pounds. Most people can build between 30-50 pounds of muscle over the course of their training, and an ideal steroid routine increases that ceiling by roughly 50% for the lucky ones, so assuming he has ideal androgen receptor density and good muscle building genetics as a whole that means we can get him up to 288 pounds with 216 pounds of lean body mass. We also have to assume he has ideal proportions for a rack pull, which is the lift that would allow us to load the absolute maximum amount of weight. If we're talking isometric strength that's different because you said lift, not hold. Eddie Hall was measured in a lab doing such a pull as having an absolute upper limit of roughly 1550 pounds of pulling strength from the floor when it came to what his muscles and joints could handle. He had about 310 pounds of lean bodymass as well so if we scale it down to our guy he'd have an ceiling of pulling about 1050 pounds off the floor. Rack pull maxes based on partial deadlift records compared to stranded form have about a 1.3x increase in weight, so our average man could pull at most around 1,400 pounds assuming his joints held up and his sky high blood pressure didn't give him a stroke
    >inb4 records aren't the real world
    Watch videos of most of these guys attempting records on the deadlift and they end up near deaths door from how hard they push their bodies to lift that weight. 1400 is about the maximum you could pick up and move in a single motion

      Heaviest yoke ever wad most 14 foot in 13 seconds.
      I'm sure the top top strongman could add 500lbs or so to that lift if they just had to break the ground, but you are about right when it comes to the average person.

        I had only done the quick math for the average guy because that's what OP wanted to know. You're right that a WSM competitor could probably do a good 500+ pounds more than that if they were physically big enough. Brian Shaw in the show strongest man in history lifted a bit over 2000 pounds in an event they put together honoring English strongmen where he had an ideal setup and he looked like he was cooked. I think that he could have gone to 2200 or so though. He was competing against Nick Best who was about 100 pounds lighter than him but could still move around that weight and Nick actually pushed close to his true limits

    >He can lift this weight in whatever position we want him to.
    I pick the back lift. The world record is 6270lbs so I think we can push it to 7000lbs easy, probably more.
