1. Wim Hof, an adventurer and daredevil from the Netherlands holds 20 world records. Most of them being related to freezing cold temperatures, thus supplying him with the nickname 'IceMan.' Hof ran an Arctic marathon at a temperature of minus 20 degrees fahrenheit (minus 29 degrees Celsius) - while shirtless. He holds the world record for being immersed in ice for 1 hour and 44 minutes. He survived outside wearing nothing but shorts for 72 minutes at the North Pole. We ask how does this man perform these incredible feats. The answer is, Wim uses a method known as the Tantric practice of Tummo, which is practicd by Yogi Monks in Tibet. It involves focusing on the body's energies and turning them into heat.

He calls himself a professional 'Head Balancer' and holds 25 records in 11 Guinness World Record categories. He credits his neck which measures 24 inches in the width, allowing him to perform such incredible feats.

3. Most of, if not all of us have heard about the amazing feat of someone lifting a car off someone else in a quick burst of super human strength. The story of a mother lifting the car off the ground to save her child. Well this is not to far fetched in this incidence. In 2008, a firefighter from Florida, Chris Hickman arrived at the scene of a car crash, where a chevrolet blazer flipped and landed on it's side, pinning the drivers arm to the pavement. Hickman lifted the truck a foot off the ground, which freed the driver. A true hero in my opinion.

She first discovered her super strength when she moved a 661 pound container of grain (equivalent to the weight of four full grown men), by herself when she was only 10 years old.
