It's kinda scary, kinda thrilling and makes you kind of proud to think that in some cases, your body can be literally too strong to keep itself together. Tumblr spends a lot of time on the weird sci-fi-ness of human physiology, which results in interesting threads like these Tumblr users exploring humans as space orcs or this Tumblr thread about aliens being defeated by earth's wildlife.
Yay, more Tumblr gems. Here we are again with Tumblr doing what it does best: running the numbers on things we'd never expect to see someone making calculations for. Yes, we're talking about how it turns out that Ash Ketchum's rocking some kind of superhuman strength. Apparently as a 10-year-old, the kid is able to toss a log that weighs over 1,000 pounds. Okay, Ash. I see you.
In this video we see the show's host head out on an adventure with some of the strongest men in the world to try and catch some seriously monstrous Goliath groupers using stand-up tackle. He has JujiMufu (fitness/social media celeb), Devon Larratt (World Arm Wrestling Champion and ex-special forces), and Layne Norton (World Champion powerlifter and fitness expert).
This guy's strength and agility are maxed out. It literally sounds like a mechanical device firing something off when he leaps into the air and unleashes that wicked shot on his unprepared opponents.
If he was always this strong, maybe his mom wasn't crazy to let him leave home at the age of ten. If Pokemon was a huge part of your childhood too, then you might be intrigued by the surprising canonic strength of Ash Ketchum. Leave it to Tumblr to do the math on a seemingly inconsequential piece of pop culture, like the time someone figured out the day Ice Cube's "Good Day" was.
Maybe you're the best Smash Bros or Ping Pong player among your friends. Nothing will prepare you for seeing someone who's actually really good at it. Sure, stay humble and learn from your failures, but here are some things to not get too cocky about before seeing someone who can really do it.
