Mental Block on muscle strength
iv'e heard that we all only use a small amount of the power our muscles can actually use (around 35%?) and that i believe adrenaline allows us to overcome that mental block somewhat so that in a "fight or flight situation" we can have more power to actually run or fight but i have a few questions concerning all this. is there a chemical that we know of that can "disable our mental inhibitions"? ( i know we have them in place for a reason, that reason being so that we don't accidentally use all of our strength at once and tear our own arm out of its socket ) but is there a way for us to use all our strength at once? and if there were A, how strong could the average male become and B, how much danger would this pose if used? and C, would we be able to eventually force the body to adapt to its own strength so that it can use all of its strength at once with no danger? i'm only asking out of curiosity as im around 100% sure i don't want to rip myself apart.

Alcohol is one I would consider also because you could have a reaction as if you can do anything and tend to go further then you could sober. I personally cannot do a pull up never really have been able to but I was drinking and started doing them ( friends of course recording how drunk I was).
My buddy that I worked out with does strongman training (no steroids) and can bench 500+ pounds, press 1000, and deadlifed a mustang. Me on the other hand can only do +-205, 500 +- , and I wish.
The human limit is only as far as you are willing to push yourself. Go to that point of no more and then do the extra 5-10 pounds. You almost always do less then you can truly do for fear of failure.
My buddy had a special designed piece of equipment that's placed under the car and rests under the frame it then has a section that he can go to and lift. I don't know but I'm sure you could look it up I believe it was a 67 mustang.
I've never heard of it being a horse tranquilizer. Are you thinking of ketamine?
It doesn't exactly play into strength as you would think. it's Described as a dissociative drug with hallucinations. I urge you DONT TAKE IT.

I have no idea about the weight he lifted or the cars but staying on point most of the drugs you can take are mostly ones that inhibit that part of you that says stop or this hurts. That's also not necessarily a good thing to have blocked either as it keeps you from getting hurt.
There is also instances where individuals cannot feel pain which is a medical condition which may be more what you are looking for but again those people need to be careful because you could be seriously injured and not know it.
The inhibitor should help you build the muscle but you still have to work that muscle to build it and steroids are no different. The only thing those two will do is make it a little faster so you still need to put in some time at a gym. The health effects of steroids I feel are not worth cutting time in the gym where as that inhibitor looks interesting which I honestly hadn't heard of before so I quickly looked it over.
You ever notice how as your bicep grows, you can't touch your shoulder as easily? With enough muscle you will significantly reduce your range of motion on your joints.
Also, anything you lift must exert the force on the ground through your legs, so anything you lift must be exerting roughly half the force through each leg, I don't know how much would be required to start causing fractures, but it's probably not that extreme. There are also fractures call traction fractures, where the muscle actually tears away a portion of bone while contracting.

I suspect one set of the Mustang's wheels stay on the ground, so he doesn't have to lift the whole weight. Still pretty awesome, though. My PR for deadlift is a bit over 300lbs, so I'm not going into the towing business anytime soon.
PCP and K are both disassociative anesthetics. People on them might feel pain, but it would be pretty dulled, and the subjective experience would be of the pain being some far-off abstract thing, almost like it's happening to someone else.
Not having done those drugs I can't say how you react only what I have read/heard.
My pr was 315lbs. But I haven't done it in a while (wasn't to comfortable). I stick to my leg presses now.
