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.
