The SCIENCE behind SUPERMAN - Wolff's law

Have you ever wondered how Superman is able to break things so easily and be so damn strong !?!?

Have you seen some guys able to bend metal rods into two or smash layers of concrete slabs with such ease? Are they superman too?

I m not talking about cryptonite (spelling!?!) here either.

Have you heard or seen these before -

1) Martial artists break planks with their hands,
2) Martial artists break bricks with their kicks,
3) Strong men break slabs of ice with their shoulders,
4) Strong men break concrete slabs with their hands,
5) Strong men break concrete slabs with their HEADS,
6) Strong men bend metal rods with their teeth,
7) Rugby players getting up and walking after being speared to the ground whilst the rest of us are hospitalized after tripping over a staircase,
8) The lanky guy is sometimes stronger than the Hulk
9) Strong men able to roll up sauce pans with their hands


etc,  etc, etc,

These amazing feats of strength are remarkable to watch. But does it not make you wonder how these men are able to achieve such super human feats of strength? What do we need to do to train to become that strong? Are they just super humans ?

Well the theory is more scientific than meets the eye. A lot of the guys who perform these feats of strength don't really resemble Ronnie Coleman or Toney Freeman or the HULK nor are they able to break bench press records like Ryan Kennelley. They are, yes extremely strong, but not necessarily because of muscle tissue. They are a living example of the theory behind Wolff's law. With no reference to Wolverine or the X Men, this is the theory where the bones of a normal human being get stronger and denser with usage. That is the more pressure applied on bones they more layers they tend to grow on them hence becoming denser and stronger. Strong bones are the answer to a lot of super human feats of strength. This takes both time and training to develop.

This is also the reason why older folk are advised to exercise frequently even on lighter weights so that their bones remain strong and denser.
