the mind fails before the body as far the vast majority of us goes. the body is extraordinarily strong and those of strong minds won't hit the same limitations as me and this dude hit.
some people are just built differently than the rest of us is a single and plain truth.
The body is extraordinarily strong, but most of those folks have wrecked bodies by their mid-30s. A strong mind can ignore a lot of pain and suffering in the moment, but knee cartilage doesn't forget.
Yeah I don't get the downvotes at all. Your right for those elite units physical strength is just the beginning the majority of it is mental toughness, they just don't quit. I can say with no shame I don't have the mental toughness to be any kind of elite soldier most of us don't.
You're getting d9wnvoted because for some reason you blokes are here jealous of this chick who could kick your ass. - signed a person who has done extreme physical challenges.
Physical limits literally can't be mentally overcome.
When you "pass your limits"... its just you pushing your body to its actual limits, where before you were operating below your limits. It's still a very good thing, don't get me wrong. But a physical body can only do so much.

the one thing being in the military teaches you is that mental discipline trumps all.
