Rich_2k3 Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 The shaolin monks, wow. How do they condition there bodies to take so much punishment, their as hard as nails (literally). Mentally and phisically they show the human body at its best, how do they do it? how do they train? why are they so god damn good!

That lifting car thing is a result of shock.. which if used to exceed your normal capabilities is soon followed by unconciousness. I doubt the Shaolin monks would want to use that.

G95champ Posted July 11, 2003 Share Posted July 11, 2003 Its also called no social life. LOL They start training very young and don't leave the temple. They don't have tv, psk2, cars, grils, internet, and other things to take their mind off of training. You learn to flip, spin, jump, split, etc when your young your body will be able to do it a long time if you keep training. Hours of prayer and meditation lets you relax and be able to control your emothins. Anyone who wants to cut their ties from the 21st century can prob. reach this same state. Its all about what is important to you and how much you are willing to pay for it. (General George S.

Tibby Posted July 11, 2003 Share Posted July 11, 2003 The Shaolin, like everyone else said, train all day, all week, all year. They have some crazy exercises, too. And as for Mothers, it is all about the Sympathetic Alarm Reaction. See, fear, anger, emotions like the register as the same in your body, and the SNR is turned on and it: 1. Increase blood pressure 2. Increased blood flow to active muscles concurrent with decreased blood follow to organs not needed for rapid activity 3. Increased rate of cellular metabolism through the body 4. Increased blood glucose concentration 5. Increase glycolysis in muscles 6. Increased muscle strength 7. Increased mental activity 8. Increased rate of blood in Coagulation This is why she exceed her “normal capabilities” when her son was trapped under the car. Besides it was one of those old fashion fiberglass body VW bugs, not like she was lifting an SUV here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
