Who among us will be able to say with certainty what are actually the possibilities of the human body. What is the human body really: a rather fragile structure of a couple of hundred bones and a couple of tens of kilograms of meat? or an amazing and inexplicable, even from the point of view of advanced modern science, a mechanism that has no analogues in complexity.

Most often, all scientific and medical research in the field of the capabilities of the human body comes to the conclusion: what although a person is a very complex system, there is nothing really unusual and outstanding in a person, except of course his brain.

But on the other side of the globe, where science is not yet as well developed as in Europe, and they do not know how to produce the most complex and fastest computers. But all possible mystical teachings, esotericism, religion, yoga, etc. reign there. From there we get completely different information about the incredible possibilities of the human body, which we began to consider from the last story.

Incredible human capabilities

For example, which of the scientists will tell us ordinary people how some yogis are able to stay underwater without breathing for hours or even days. And others even ask to be buried in the ground for whole weeks without air, and still, in the end, they remain alive.

Other yogis seem to be able to consciously change the weight of their body and control various medically uncontrolled processes inside their body starting from heart rate.

Why, Indian yogis, now even in Europe there are individuals who claim that they have not eaten for many years, or even decades. Even the famous discovery channel seems to have recently studied one such yogi who has not been around for more than 60 years.

But ten days was enough for them to understand that such an experiment could drag on for a very long time, since the yogi still felt well, although without water he should have died a long time ago. And of course they had to let him go. But after all, 60-70 years without food is far from a joke, and not an accident, but more than a really incredible human possibility, in no way inexplicable by modern physics.

But what potential opportunities for a person could give such incredible knowledge, such as, for example, to receive energy from space or the sun directly, but this will immediately cross out all knowledge in the field of modern biology and physics. Yes, and many other incredible, but unknown real or fictional human abilities, would be very useful to a person.

At the same time, strangely enough, such people even declared a couple of times that they were not against trying to teach, but at least the starving children of Africa, this simple way of eating without food, in their opinion. But so far there have been no scientists willing to respond to such proposals, probably these heretical experiments are in direct conflict with sacred science, well, or with politics and big money, and this is even worse.

Yes, and in principle that we have hidden opportunities for foreigners, because in our countries there are also more than enough of them. And this despite the fact that in our country no one really trains and develops these hidden human capabilities, unlike the same east.

But all the same, every other day we hear how pregnant women, in a panic, fearing for their children, lift cars with almost one hand, which is not always possible even for the most famous bodybuilders.

Or, for example, a recent story of how a woman managed at the last moment to grab her child falling from the balcony, and at the same time accidentally rolled over the balcony herself. So she was there for about forty minutes and hung on two fingers of one hand, holding them to the balcony, and holding her child with the other hand. Naturally, after their miraculous rescue, the doctors could not unclench the woman's hand for a couple of hours.

And there are more than enough such stories, stories when ordinary untrained people in conditions of extreme necessity and in order to survive, did simply inexplicable things. For some, this is a very fast run from danger or jumping over the highest fences, after which a person cannot recover and regain strength for a week, and someone even talks about inexplicable time slowdowns.

What are hidden opportunities in the human body, why some people at the moment of danger can use them, while others cannot. And generally speaking Is it worth learning this by mastering more and more new previously unknown talents, or is it not in vain that the unique capabilities of a person are blocked by his wise nature.

Perhaps a person, having learned to use his unique abilities, will do himself more harm than good, because the enlightened ones usually have abilities by themselves, from their correct life and thoughts. well and ordinary people who, of course, will immediately spend all their already very little vital energy on stupid things, access to the hidden reserves of your body can naturally only harm.

Therefore, nature has invented such a mechanism to protect against stupidity, just as speed limiters are now installed on many cars for safety. So, it is apparently necessary to begin to develop the unique capabilities of a person by gradually improving your intellect and the capabilities of your brain. And the rest the hidden abilities of the body will open themselves when the time comes and the wisdom to dispose of them for the good.

Well, in the meantime, for now, we can only watch how our compatriots demonstrate the unnatural magnetism of their bodies on TV, clinging iron objects to it from kitchen knives to heavy irons. Or smiling, holding on to a bare electrical wire with one hand, and holding a burning light bulb in the other.

And the Shaolin monks in their monasteries go even further, with the help of conscious control of the non-existent scientific energy "qi", they withstand the strongest blows of even sharp objects, seemingly making their body invulnerable. Well, we can only guess what it is, skillful tricks or incredible, unique capabilities of the human body, since our science refuses to study all this, or corny hides all the results of such a study.

Exploration beyond the natural possibilities of man

So why do modern, omniscient scientists most often do not comment on this wonderful variety of human capabilities. Well, or at least if this is all a hoax, then why there are such programs as the battle of psychics, if no psychics, according to the authoritative opinion of scientists, actually exist.

After all, if you think logically, why it is impossible to come once with accurate scientific equipment to such a program, and once and for all prove or disprove the very logic of the existence of such television programs, for almost the tenth year in a row.

Is it not interesting for scientists whether television psychics see through walls, whether they are able to read minds, talk about objects that used to be in this room, but now they are not. Well, to explore such wonderful, supernatural, and other unusual opportunities for the common man, which have been demonstrated more than once by participants in such projects.

Why there is a battle of psychics

But the logic of the existence of the battle of psychics is quite simple: after all or state television is deceiving hundreds of millions of people around the world that psychics exist. Either science, in turn, deceives the same hundreds of millions of people, saying that psychics, like the supernatural abilities of the human body, do not exist., and this is absolutely accurate, and one hundred percent verified information.

Or it turns out that we live in a world where science, as a recognized guarantor of the protection of the population from all sorts of delusions and deceptions, itself, in turn, covers the television that deceives the population. Why is such science needed then, if it is even afraid to expose television psychics, thereby saving money for gullible people on paid SMS, and preventing the spread of unscientific ideas.

Well, or vice versa, even the near modern television is already ten times closer to knowing the real capabilities of a person than all modern science. And as you understand, not one of these answers will definitely not be in favor of modern science.

In the meantime, there is not even such a banal study or exposure, as someone thinks from the standpoint of their experience. Then, unfortunately, we most likely simply won’t be able to discuss the real capabilities of a person, just not because of a drawback, but because of the almost complete lack of accurate scientific knowledge on this matter. Well, or no one is just interested in us knowing this very truth;)

Well, in any case, you can talk for a long time about the real possibilities of the human body, but we still don’t know the truth. And if you have comments about this or your life examples of real human superpowers, leave it at the bottom of this article.

The human body was created with a large margin of opportunity. It has been established that the human spine in extreme conditions can withstand a load of 10 tons.

A person uses the margin of safety endowed by Nature very rarely, once or twice in his entire life, and sometimes this reserve may turn out to be completely unclaimed. Margin of safety - a guarantee of our survival, biological protection, and is used only when it comes to life and death. Fear and a sense of self-preservation at the time of an extreme situation “allows” the human body to use this reserve completely, but most people resort to their emergency reserve quite rarely.

But once having used the entire reserve of his capabilities, a person then for the rest of his life does not cease to be surprised how he succeeded. In the face of mortal danger, when the threat to life is colossal, and death seems inevitable, the human body can work wonders. There are many examples of this. An elderly man, when an angry bull chased him, literally jumped over a two-meter fence, although he was not an athlete in his youth.

The polar pilot was repairing his plane and suddenly saw a polar bear behind him, which lightly pushed the pilot on the shoulder with his paw, as if inviting him to look around. In the next fractions of a second, the pilot was already standing on the wing of the aircraft, which was above the ground at a height of about two meters. Later, the pilot could not explain how he managed to do this. A child was under the wheel of a car, and his mother, in order to save her child, lifts the car, as if the car had no weight.

In St. Petersburg, a two-year-old child fell out of a window on the 7th floor, his mother barely had time to grab her child with one hand; with the other hand she held on to the brick of the eaves. Moreover, it was held not with the whole hand, but only with the index and middle fingers, but with a “dead grip”. When the woman was filmed, her rescuers with great effort barely opened her fingers. Then they calmed and persuaded the woman for several more hours to let go of her child's hand. There is a known case when in flight a bolt got under the pedal in the cockpit - the control jammed. To save his life and the car, the pilot pressed the pedal so hard that he cut off the bolt like a blade of grass.

The newspaper Nedelya published an interview with pilot I.M. Chisov, whose aircraft was shot down by a Messerschmitt in January 1942 over Vyazma. “... the plane began to fall “belly” up. I had to leave the car. Astroluk, through which you can get out, was below my head (and I myself - upside down). Well, the height began to affect: the hoses leading to the oxygen apparatus were broken. And the latch of the manhole cover jammed!

If I had been told before that the astroluk could be knocked out with a blow of the fist, I would never have believed it; but I opened it in this way (I still don’t understand how it was possible), - said I.M. Chisov. There was a fire in the house, and the old woman - "God's dandelion", saving her wealth acquired throughout her life, dragged a huge chest from the second floor of the burning house. After the fire, two young, healthy guys hardly brought this chest to its original place.

In 1997, two pretty drunk Belarusians climbed into an enclosure with bison in Belovezhskaya Pushcha; they wanted to stroke the bison. Either she did not like the smell of alcohol, or she was not in the mood for a lyrical wave, she did not accept the tenderness of her fans. Literally after a few minutes of their acquaintance, one of them was sitting on the fence, and the second, less agile, was slightly hit by a horn. The hops passed instantly, one hope was on the feet. On the other side of the three-meter fence, he was in the blink of an eye. Since there were no witnesses to their record, the ultra-fast run and jump over the obstacle did not get into the Guinness Book of Records.

In 1998, the newspaper "Arguments and Facts" told readers about such an incident that happened to a carpenter from the taiga village of Bazhenovka (Kemerovo region). The carpenter was walking through the taiga and came across a sleeping bear. His fright was so great that he grabbed some log lying nearby and rushed with it from all legs to his home about three kilometers. Only in the courtyard of the house did the carpenter drop the log and catch his breath. Later, when he wanted to move this log out of the way, he could not even lift it. Until now, the carpenter cannot understand why he needed this log, because without it he could run much faster.

There was an accident on the winter road, which resulted in human casualties. To save her injured 40-year-old son, a 70-year-old woman put him on her back and with such a burden walked 13 km through deep snow, never stopping and never lowering her precious burden. When rescuers on a snowmobile made their way to the scene of the accident, guided by the footsteps of a woman, they saw only traces of one pair of legs along the way. Human capabilities are manifested not only in stressful situations. But also as a result of long training, for example, in athletes. Previously, athletes did not even imagine that they would conquer a height of 2 m 35 cm, that they could jump 8 m 90 cm in length, that they could lift a barbell of 500 kg in three movements: snatch, push, bench press.

In August 1985, a 23-year-old athlete from Kyiv, Rudolf Povarnitsyn, overcame the bar of 240 cm in the high jump. And just a few days later, another athlete Igor Paklin conquered a height of 241 cm. Javelin throwers overcame the 95-meter mark. In June 2005, 22-year-old Jamaican runner Asafa Powell set a new world record in the 100 meters at 9.77 seconds. Now athletes dream of jumping over 241 cm high, jumping over 9 m in length. Lifting half a ton in two movements. Having lived their lives, most mortals never claim their abilities, but each of us is pleased to realize that somewhere deep inside you lurk huge forces, that you have a colossal memory that, at the moment of mortal danger, can save your life. POWER RECORDS

From time to time, weightlifters remind society of themselves with their original tricks with weights, while setting records. The press does not forget to tell its readers about it. In the Basque Country (Spain), traditional weight lifting competitions are regularly held. In 1987, Inaki Perurena was recognized as the strongest among the Basques: he lifted a concrete block weighing 300 kg three times in a row. At the end of the twentieth century, a teacher of the Academy of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Belarus, captain Vyacheslav Khoronenko, made a serious claim about himself. At first, the athlete's favorite sports equipment was kettlebells. Using weights of different weights, he set many achievements in weight lifting - more than 70 national, more than 10 highest world records. So, during the day he lifted a pood weight 18108 times (almost 300 tons) - an absolute world record.

The athlete pushed a two-pound weight, sitting in a twine, until he broke the record listed in the Guinness Book of Records - 55 times. It seemed not enough for the weightlifter to set records on the platform, and he sank to the bottom of the pool with a two-pound weight and, sitting in the splits, in 52 seconds - the time for which he managed to hold his breath - lifted the weight 21 times. It can be argued that the law of Archimedes operates under water. Indeed, water makes the weight lighter by 7-8 kg, but the conditions for lifting weights are not quite suitable for a person.

V. Khoronenko soon got tired of kettlebells. In addition, it turned out that kettlebells are not taken seriously in Europe. There, the audience admires lifting weights, but some special weights. For example, in Holland, athletes lift and throw boulders for a distance. The Belarusian strongman replaced the kettlebell with a 40-kilogram barrel of beer, after some time he set an absolute world record: during the day he lifted the barrel 3150 times, which totaled 126 tons. At the same time, it was necessary to comply with strict conditions: rest only 5 minutes after each hour of lifting weights.

Sergey Matskevich in 2000 set a world record in lifting a pound weight for five hours - without a break he jerked the weight 7030 times. In 2000, a Belarusian strongman from Bobruisk, 39-year-old Vladimir Saveliev, set a world record: during the day he lifted a 24-kilogram weight alternately with his right and left hand 19275 times, which in total amounted to 462 tons 600 kg. V. Savelyev is a biology teacher by profession, outwardly he does not look like a hero - height is 175 cm, weight is 100 kg.

In November 2000, 26-year-old Vagan Sargsyan, a former Armenian weightlifting champion, demonstrated a unique power trick. First, Vagan undressed to the waist, and then began to pierce himself with stainless steel hooks. I inserted one hook into both hands, hooked two hooks to the skin of my chest. The assistants attached steel cables to the hooks, stretched to the minibus weighing 1540 kg. It is amazing that this short, frail, weighing 65 kg, a man moved the car and dragged it for a distance of about 8 meters!

Omar Khanapiev, a 30-year-old power gymnast from Dagestan, set a record in 2001: grabbing a cable with his teeth, he moved a Tu-134 aircraft and dragged it a distance of 7 meters. On November 7 of the same year, the strongman in the same way dragged railway locomotives of 136 and 140 tons, respectively, over a distance of 10 and 12 meters. And two days later, in the port of Makhachkala, Khanapiev moved and dragged a tanker with a displacement of 567 tons through the water for a distance of 15 meters. In 2002, 30 men and 8 women from 20 countries came to Malaysia to show off and flex their muscles.

The audience had something to be surprised. The Dutchman Yamo Hams moved and pulled a 16-ton truck behind him. Canadian Hugo Girard picked up a set of weights with a total weight of 260 kg, picked them up and carried them around the stadium for several meters. Not inferior to men and women; the weaker sex proved that he is not weak. American Shannon Hartnett demonstrated the same as Hugo, but the weight of her kettlebells was twice as light. Swede Anna Rosen tore off the ground three trucks weighing three tons. Pole Mariusz Pudzinowski wanted to repeat this number, but he could only lift a two-ton truck.

And the American Jill Mills ran around the stadium with an 80-kilogram shield. In September 2003, forty-year-old Georges Christen from Luxembourg, nicknamed "Steel Teeth", came to Yaroslavl with one goal - to set a new official record, 24 in a row. In his homeland, Christophen is a rather well-known person: he lifted a table with a woman sitting on it with his teeth, dragged a 20-ton car over a distance of 200 meters with his teeth, lifted three sports aircraft with pilots, etc. In Yaroslavl, a Luxembourger moved his teeth and dragged along the Volga at a distance of 10 meters, a 120-ton motor ship with passengers weighing 2830 kg.

In 2003, multiple kickboxing champion 29-year-old Nugzar Gograchadze dragged a 228-ton train with his teeth over a distance of 4 meters. This is 70 cm and 5 tons more than the record recorded in the Guinness Book of Records. In our time, Vasyl Virastyuk is considered the strongest man in Ukraine.

His parameters: weight - 140 kg, height - 191 cm, chest volume - 142 cm, neck volume - 49 cm, biceps volume - 49 cm. a distance of 17.9 meters for a coupling of five tram cars; each wagon weighed 20.3 tons. Then, practically without resting, the hero took in both hands a box-case with steel blanks, each box weighed 171 kg. Task: carry these "suitcases" as far as possible.

But at 19 meters Virastyuk stumbled - the load touched the ground. Angry at the failure with the "suitcases", Virastyuk decided to budge a road train of ten Mitsubishi-Carisma cars, each car weighing 1600 kg. The strong man stretched this road train for a distance of 19.4 meters.

The human body was created with a large margin of opportunity. It has been established that the human spine in extreme conditions can withstand a load of 10 tons.

But once having used the entire reserve of his capabilities, a person then for the rest of his life does not cease to be surprised how he succeeded. In the face of mortal danger, when the threat to life is colossal, and death seems inevitable, the human body can work wonders. There are many examples of this. An elderly man, when an angry bull chased him, literally jumped over a two-meter fence, although he was not an athlete in his youth.

The polar pilot was repairing his plane and suddenly saw a polar bear behind him, which lightly pushed the pilot on the shoulder with his paw, as if inviting him to look around. In the next fractions of a second, the pilot was already standing on the wing of the aircraft, which was above the ground at a height of about two meters. Later, the pilot could not explain how he managed to do this. A child was under the wheel of a car, and his mother, in order to save her child, lifts the car, as if the car had no weight. In St. Petersburg, a two-year-old child fell out of a window on the 7th floor, his mother barely had time to grab her child with one hand; with the other hand she held on to the brick of the eaves. Moreover, it was held not with the whole hand, but only with the index and middle fingers, but with a “dead grip”. When the woman was filmed, her rescuers with great effort barely opened her fingers. Then they calmed and persuaded the woman for several more hours to let go of her child's hand. There is a known case when in flight a bolt got under the pedal in the cockpit - the control jammed. To save his life and the car, the pilot pressed the pedal so hard that he cut off the bolt like a blade of grass.

The newspaper Nedelya published an interview with pilot I.M. Chisov, whose aircraft was shot down by a Messerschmitt in January 1942 over Vyazma. “... the plane began to fall “belly” up. I had to leave the car. Astroluk, through which you can get out, was below my head (and I myself - upside down). Well, the height began to affect: the hoses leading to the oxygen apparatus were broken. And the latch of the manhole cover jammed! If I had been told before that the astroluk could be knocked out with a blow of the fist, I would never have believed it; but I opened it in this way (I still don’t understand how it was possible), - said I.M. Chisov. There was a fire in the house, and the old woman - "God's dandelion", saving her wealth acquired throughout her life, dragged a huge chest from the second floor of the burning house. After the fire, two young, healthy guys hardly brought this chest to its original place.

In 1997, two pretty drunk Belarusians climbed into an enclosure with bison in Belovezhskaya Pushcha; they wanted to stroke the bison. Either she did not like the smell of alcohol, or she was not in the mood for a lyrical wave, she did not accept the tenderness of her fans. Literally after a few minutes of their acquaintance, one of them was sitting on the fence, and the second, less agile, was slightly hit by a horn. The hop passed instantly, one hope was on the feet. On the other side of the three-meter fence, he was in the blink of an eye. Since there were no witnesses to their record, the ultra-fast run and jump over the obstacle did not get into the Guinness Book of Records. In 1998, the newspaper "Arguments and Facts" told readers about such an incident that happened to a carpenter from the taiga village of Bazhenovka (Kemerovo region). The carpenter was walking through the taiga and came across a sleeping bear. His fright was so great that he grabbed some log lying nearby and rushed with it from all legs to his home about three kilometers. Only in the courtyard of the house did the carpenter drop the log and catch his breath. Later, when he wanted to move this log out of the way, he could not even lift it. Until now, the carpenter cannot understand why he needed this log, because without it he could run much faster.

There was an accident on the winter road, which resulted in human casualties. To save her injured 40-year-old son, a 70-year-old woman put him on her back and with such a burden walked 13 km through deep snow, never stopping and never lowering her precious burden. When rescuers on a snowmobile made their way to the scene of the accident, guided by the footsteps of a woman, they saw only traces of one pair of legs along the way.

Human capabilities are manifested not only in stressful situations. But also as a result of long training, for example, in athletes. Previously, athletes did not even imagine that they would conquer a height of 2 m 35 cm, that they could jump 8 m 90 cm in length, that they could lift a barbell of 500 kg in three movements: snatch, push, bench press. In August 1985, a 23-year-old athlete from Kyiv, Rudolf Povarnitsyn, overcame the bar of 240 cm in the high jump. And just a few days later, another athlete Igor Paklin conquered a height of 241 cm. Javelin throwers overcame the 95-meter mark. In June 2005, 22-year-old Jamaican runner Asafa Powell set a new world record in the 100 meters at 9.77 seconds. Now athletes dream of jumping over 241 cm high, jumping over 9 m in length. Lifting half a ton in two movements. Having lived their lives, most mortals never claim their abilities, but each of us is pleased to realize that somewhere deep inside you lurk huge forces, that you have a colossal memory that, at the moment of mortal danger, can save your life.

A person uses very rarely, once or twice in his entire life, and sometimes this reserve may turn out to be completely unclaimed. Margin of safety is a guarantee of our survival, biological protection, and is used only when it comes to life and death. Fear and a sense of self-preservation at the time of an extreme situation “allows” the human body to use this reserve completely, but most people resort to their emergency reserve quite rarely. But once having used the entire reserve of his capabilities, a person then for the rest of his life does not cease to be surprised how he succeeded.

The human body was created with a large margin of opportunity. It has been established that the human spine in extreme conditions can withstand a load of 10 tons.

In the face of mortal danger, when the threat to life is colossal, and death seems inevitable, the human body can work wonders. There are many examples of this.

POWER RECORDS

11. From time to time, weightlifters remind society of themselves with their original tricks with weights, while setting records. The press does not forget to tell its readers about it.

12. In the Basque Country () traditional weight lifting competitions are regularly held. In 1987, Inaki Perurena was recognized as the strongest among the Basques: he lifted a concrete block weighing 300 kg three times in a row.

13. At the end of the twentieth century, a teacher of the Academy of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Belarus, captain Vyacheslav Khoronenko, made a serious claim about himself. At first, the athlete's favorite sports equipment was kettlebells. Using kettlebells of different weights, he set many achievements in weight lifting - more than 70 national, more than 10 highest world records. So, during the day he lifted a pood weight 18108 times (almost 300 tons) - an absolute world record.

14. The athlete pushed a two-pound weight, sitting in a twine, until he broke the record listed in the Guinness Book of Records - 55 times. It seemed not enough for the weightlifter to set records on the platform, and he sank to the bottom of the pool with a two-pound weight and, sitting in the splits, in 52 seconds - the time for which he managed to hold his breath - lifted the weight 21 times. It can be argued that the law of Archimedes operates under water. Indeed, water makes the weight lighter by 7-8 kg, but the conditions for lifting weights are not quite suitable for a person.

V. Khoronenko soon got tired of kettlebells. In addition, it turned out that kettlebells are not taken seriously in Europe. There, the audience admires lifting weights, but some special weights. For example, in Holland, athletes lift and throw boulders for a distance. The Belarusian strongman replaced the kettlebell with a 40-kilogram barrel of beer, after some time he set an absolute world record: during the day he lifted the barrel 3150 times, which totaled 126 tons. At the same time, it was necessary to comply with strict conditions: rest only 5 minutes after each hour of lifting weights.

15. Sergey Matskevich in 2000 set a world record in lifting a pound weight for five hours - without a break he jerked the weight 7030 times.

16. In 2000, a Belarusian strongman from Bobruisk, 39-year-old Vladimir Saveliev, set a world record: during the day he lifted a 24-kilogram weight alternately with his right and left hand 19275 times, which in total amounted to 462 tons 600 kg. V. Savelyev is a biology teacher by profession, outwardly he does not look like a hero - height is 175 cm, weight is 100 kg.

17. In November 2000, 26-year-old Vagan Sargsyan, a former Armenian weightlifting champion, demonstrated a unique power trick. First, Vagan undressed to the waist, and then began to pierce himself with stainless steel hooks. I inserted one hook into both hands, hooked two hooks to the skin of my chest. The assistants attached steel cables to the hooks, stretched to the minibus weighing 1540 kg. It is amazing that this short, frail, weighing 65 kg, a man moved the car and dragged it for a distance of about 8 meters!

18. Omar Khanapiev, a 30-year-old power gymnast from Dagestan, set a record in 2001: grabbing a cable with his teeth, he moved a Tu-134 aircraft and dragged it a distance of 7 meters. On November 7 of the same year, the strongman in the same way dragged railway locomotives of 136 and 140 tons, respectively, over a distance of 10 and 12 meters. And two days later, in the port of Makhachkala, Khanapiev moved and dragged a tanker with a displacement of 567 tons through the water for a distance of 15 meters.

19. In 2002, 30 men and 8 women from 20 countries came to Malaysia to show off and flex their muscles. The audience had something to be surprised. The Dutchman Yamo Hams moved and pulled a 16-ton truck behind him. Canadian Hugo Girard picked up a set of weights with a total weight of 260 kg, picked them up and carried them around the stadium for several meters. Not inferior to men and women; the weaker sex proved that he is not weak. American Shannon Hartnett demonstrated the same as Hugo, but the weight of her kettlebells was twice as light. Swede Anna Rosen tore off the ground three trucks weighing three tons. Pole Mariusz Pudzinowski wanted to repeat this number, but he could only lift a two-ton truck. And the American Jill Mills ran around the stadium with an 80-kilogram shield.

20. In September 2003, forty-year-old Georges Christen from Luxembourg, nicknamed "Steel Teeth", came to Yaroslavl with one goal - to set a new official record, 24 in a row. In his homeland, Christophen is a rather well-known person: he lifted a table with a woman sitting on it with his teeth, dragged a 20-ton car over a distance of 200 meters with his teeth, lifted three sports aircraft with pilots, etc. In Yaroslavl, a Luxembourger moved his teeth and dragged along the Volga at a distance of 10 meters, a 120-ton motor ship with passengers weighing 2830 kg.

21. In 2003, multiple kickboxing champion 29-year-old Nugzar Gograchadze dragged a 228-ton train with his teeth over a distance of 4 meters. This is 70 cm and 5 tons more than the record recorded in the Guinness Book of Records.

22. In our time, Vasyl Virastyuk is considered the strongest man in Ukraine. His parameters: weight - 140 kg, height - 191 cm, chest volume - 142 cm, neck volume - 49 cm, biceps volume - 49 cm.

23. At the beginning of 2004 in Lvov, with a large gathering of people, he moved and stretched a couple of five tram cars for a distance of 17.9 meters; each wagon weighed 20.3 tons. Then, practically without resting, the hero took in both hands a box-case with steel blanks, each box weighed 171 kg. Task: carry these "suitcases" as far as possible. But at 19 meters Virastyuk stumbled - the load touched the ground. Angry at the failure with the "suitcases", Virastyuk decided to budge a road train of ten Mitsubishi-Carisma cars, each car weighing 1600 kg. The strong man stretched this road train for a distance of 19.4 meters.
