My wife wondered if we are reaching the limit of human ability in athletics; I think we’re only reaching the limit of people who actually take part in those sports.

Theres a video on youtube i saw once of a rock climbing guy who went to a grip strength competition. These guys were body builders and he shows up just like 65 kilos of wiry muscle. He set a new world record in his weight class.
So yeah i think we haven’t seen what the human body is capable of. Not until everyone has leisure time to do what they want when they want we will see the true upper limit.
The name of that rock climbing guy is Emil Abrahamsson and this is the video you are talking about: https://youtu.be/LnIkgDrgGoo
He competed again a year later: https://youtu.be/7uB9BqanPtY
Thanks for linking it. He popped up in the algorithm for me so i couldn’t remember his name.
Yeah, for me too. This was his first video I watched but I subbed to his channel afterwards.
