Many people think they’re strong because they can lift heavy weights, but in reality
strength isn’t just a measure of how good you are in the gym or what you can pick up.
In fact, there are people out there who without ever touching a weight in their lives can
naturally accomplish feats of strength that anyone would look at and call superhuman.
But as unreal as their talents may be, these absurdly powerful people are the furthest
thing from a fantasy.
Some have even taken their innate strengths and used them to build careers where they
punch, crush, and straight up destroy things and even people, providing the world with
displays that are too incredible to look away from.
Ready to meet them?
Lets get it on!
MUHAMED KAHRIMANOVIC At 60 years old many people begin to slow
down, but as far as TaeKwonDo master Muhamed Kahrimanovic was concerned, at 60 he was barely
getting started.
The Bosnian martial artist has gained international fame for his insanely powerful and resilient
hands, which can be used to break just about anything you could imagine.
Just to name a few times he flexed his inhuman hand strength, Muhamed once completely crushed
an absolutely staggering 123 coconuts in a row, in 2017 he broke more than 30 baseball
bats in a minute while on a Bosnian talent show, blowing away way more than just the
judges, and at 60 years old he cemented his title as the man with the strongest hands
on the planet, by demolishing the Guinness World Record for soda cans crushed by hand,
destroying 97 with just one hand.
This completely blew the previous record of 74 cans out of the water.
That earlier record however, was also held by Muhamed, who clearly has no rivals besides
himself, but just to be sure, he set a very high bar that no one could challenge.
With that kind of destructive power at his fingertips, just imagine what he could do
to a human skull.
Thankfully, Muhamed only uses his powers for good, and for that I think we should really
give him a hand.
MASTER HO ENG HUI In combat sports like wrestling or boxing,
contenders use their hands or even their whole bodies to try and subdue their opponents,
but Master Ho Eng Hui can defeat practically any opponent with nothing but a single finger.
The Malaysian Kung Fu master has spent a lifetime training in his unique one finger style, which
has earned him national fame and a healthy living.
Unbelievably, he’s able to puncture coconuts with just a jab from his finger.
Ho began training under a master of the one-finger style at 17, he later took to the streets
to perform his coconut piercing trick for passersby, and was so impressive that the
Malaysian government gave him a designated spot in downtown where he performs every single
day.
The speed with which he can crush coconuts is completely unmatched, as proven when he
set a Guinness World record in 2009 by piercing four coconuts in 30 seconds, but of course,
the master wasn’t satisfied, and in 2011 he absolutely annihilated his own record,
clocking in at 12.15 seconds flat.
Now that’s what I call blistering speed.
FRANCIS NGANNOU There are many people who dream of being in
the octagon, but anyone unlucky enough to go up against Francis Ngannou is more likely
to be dreaming in the octagon.
Francis is a heavyweight MMA fighter and a truly terrifying man with a title that no
amount of losses in the ring could ever strip him of, not that he’s likely to lose anyway.
That’s because in 2017 while training for a major fight, Francis casually set the world
record for the hardest punch ever thrown.
Not in the UFC, or in America, but in all of recorded human history, exerting 129,000
units of force with just one fist.
What’s so terrifying about Francis’ record is that he wasn’t trying to set it, he was
simply training in a gym that happened to record the force of his punches, and one of
his blows was recorded as the hardest of all time, so just imagine what he could do if
he were actually trying.
For some reason, his opponent didn’t drop out of the fight in fear for his life, but
maybe he should have, as he was knocked out cold in the first round.
What did he expect, daring to challenge the man with the strongest punch on Earth?
VASILY KAMOTSKIY It seems like these days people will take
anything to the extreme, and believe it or not, that includes slapping.
It might not come as a surprise, but in Russia slapping tournaments have become popular,
and the reigning champion of the entire country is Vasily Kamotskiy.
Originally Vasily didn’t train or prepare at all, but when he took to the stage for
the first time, the humble farmer from a small Siberian village had no clue that he would
become an overnight sensation.
Without any intention of doing so, Vasily knocked out two opponents with a single slap
in his first contest, something that had never been seen before in the relatively new sport.
The clip of his unbelievably powerful slap went viral, making him a worldwide celebrity
overnight.
What might be even more frightening than the thought of how wildly strong his slaps are
is how he’s able to take slaps from any opponent without showing any sort of reaction.
His nonchalance destroys the psyche of anyone unlucky enough to face him, but it’s not
like they even stood a chance to begin with when Vasily’s enormous arms swing for them
with devastating force.
JOHN FERRARO Oftentimes people train for years to even
be considered a superhuman, however that’s not the case with John Ferraro.
By definition, John is literally a superhuman, as he holds the world record for the thickest
skull ever x-rayed, at nearly 3 times the thickness of an average skull.
Naturally gifted with this power, John has made a career out of displaying just how tough
his skull really is, putting himself through the type of training that would instantly
end the life of any other person.
John earned the nickname of The Hammerhead with the crazy stunts he performs, like smashing
hardwood boards against his head without flinching, drilling and jack hammering cinder blocks
directly into his skull, and even dropping bowling balls right onto his head while balancing
flaming hardwood on it.
And what’s perhaps his most famous feat and his namesake, he hammers nails with nothing
but his head, once hammering in 38 in a row to achieve a world record that no one in the
world would ever be insane enough to even consider attempting.
Talk about being hard headed.
MUHAMMED RASHID NASEEM Everyone has hobbies and goals in life, but
Muhammed Rashid Naseem’s hobbies are quite a bit more extreme than the average person.
The Pakistani man is a master martial artist, and dedicates his life to being one of the
most fearsome and lethal people on the planet.
Naseem has taken this to an unrivaled level, holding more than 50 world records and counting.
While other powerful people are able to perform feats of superhuman strength or speed with
one part of their body, he trains to have his entire body be an unmatched force of destruction.
What I mean is, he holds records for destroying tons of different objects with different parts
of his body.
Among the craziest are his record for destroying 257 walnuts with his elbow in just one minute,
meaning he smashed more than 4 every second, crushing the most cans in 60 seconds with
his elbow, at 77, and the record for most coconuts smashed with his head in a minute,
breaking 43.
It’s clear that it doesn’t matter whether it’s objects or records, but Muhammed is
without question the best in the world at breaking things.
JD ANDERSON If you ever wondered what the Juggernaut might
look like in real life, just take a look at the Ice Man JD Anderson.
While he shares a nickname with a different X Man, don’t let that fool you, JD is a
hulking behemoth with the kind of strength that people would think were a myth if it
weren’t for videos of him.
JD holds 6 world records and is called the most powerful man in the world by some.
He earned his stone-cold nickname when he set the world record for most ice blocks broken
by a human battering ram, where he demolished ice blocks like they were flimsy drywall.
Among his other insane displays of force are his ability to bend nails against his head,
and his famous frying pan rolling trick that makes the cast iron look more like it’s
a piece of rubber.
While he’s built a name for himself around the world, rather than letting the success
go to his head, JD focuses on inspiring others and showing them that nothing’s impossible.
KERIM DUYGU If you’ve ever hit your shin on the corner
of something, you might be in for some painful flashbacks when you meet Kerim Duygu.
The German Martial Arts Master seems to somehow not have been born with the weakness most
people have in their shin bones; either that, or he’s got a superhuman talent for suppressing
unbearable pain, because Kerim is all about attacking with his shins.
Arguably the man with the strongest shins on the planet, Kerim holds a world record
for the most baseball bats broken using only his shins.
During his record attempt he was able to shatter a whopping sixty four baseball bats, and remarkably
not a single bone in just a minute, meaning he broke more than one a second.
His legs seem to fly through the thick wooden bats as if they’re not even there, usually
destroying them with a single swift motion.
Of course, when you train by breaking bundles of 3 bats with a single kick, one bat probably
feels like a cushion to you.
JEFF DABE Jeff was born with naturally massive and absurdly
strong hands, which made it a no-brainer for him to begin chasing a career in arm wrestling.
In the 1970s, Jeff quickly ascended from amateur to the second highest ranked arm wrestler
in America.
After a few years and several championships, tragedy struck and Jeff was injured in 1986.
While he was able to recover normally, he was no longer able to compete in arm wrestling
tournaments.
Against all odds though, more than 25 years after his career-ending injury, when Jeff
was 49 years old, he decided to return to the world of arm wrestling, and despite his
age, with his naturally huge arms it wasn’t long before he was back at the top of the
rankings for the entire sport.
Newly invigorated, Jeff was back in the swing of things without missing a beat, it was like
the last 25 years hadn’t even happened, as his insane arm strength gave him an unbeatable
advantage over the competition.
Today, Jeff continues to compete and has become a major inspiration for athletes everywhere
who without his story may have given up on their dreams before they even had a chance
to accomplish them.
MAGNUS MIDTBO Known as the strongest man in Norway, Magnus
Midtbo is a climber whose skills would put even the likes of Spider-Man to shame.
While he may not be big like a bodybuilder or strongman, Magnus has unbelievably powerful
hands, honed from a lifetime of training to climb, that can pull off, no pun intended,
things that most people consider to be completely impossible.
For one, Magnus can perform 5 chin ups in a row using only one finger to pull himself
up.
As if that weren’t impressive enough, his warm-up is performing one armed muscle ups,
an exercise that even with two hands requires months or even years of training to be able
to accomplish.
It isn’t just the sheer power in his upper body that allows him to perform at such superhuman
levels, because there are plenty of strong people who would never be able to climb around
a chair like this without touching the floor once.
Magnus possesses unmatched balance and mental composure, along with the type of determination
you usually only see from superhero characters, which combine to make him one of the uncontested
greatest and strongest climbers on
the planet.
