5:17 when your mom won’t stop at McDonald’s
everyone hating because hes crying. Think about something thats very important to you, then imagine losing it. Plus, can talk shit how much you want, he'll still break you.
+Whosvypr / ZoRe_ELITE / Especially since that kind of stuff was his career. I'd be furious as well as upset if I lost a fight or my champion title.
Sexual Chocolate you my friend, i like your opinion
Sexual Chocolate and your name btw 😂
Synchrosz yea totally agree man 🖒
He is crying because houston alexander is a bum
The reason his punch under his own adrenaline was more powerful is because there is emotional investment in the actual strikes on top of the adrenaline. I can almost guarantee he threw the better punch form wise when his trainer got him riled up, opposed to the shot. With that much unnatural adrenaline in your body, I dont think he knew what do do with it, he said in the interview "You can almost not control it"
actually he purposefully threw first punch soft and quick and. Second punch he cocked back a bit and threw full force. Had nothing to do with anything other than that, whole thing is bullshit
I've always likes this guy. I like to watch him fight as he's so explosive. But this episode made me like him more knowing he's so emotional!
After the adrenaline shots and the aftermath of ferocious punches was so intense. I mean you know it's serious when the doctor and the trainer are more than a few feet away from, the powerful Houston Alexander, frozen watching him anchor immensely in his own rage to the point tears are stream lining down the sides of his face. His trainer and the medical professional that administered the adrenaline shots were so amazingly fascinated and terrified at the same time, the both of them weren't sure what to do but they knew they had to approach this savage beast of a warrior. You know it's serious when the trainer wont see if his fighter, who's been with him probably more then his own family, a real special type of bond, wont approach him in that scary-scary state of being. The trainer's body language after those punches Houston accurately threw back-to-back was like:
"I ain't fucking checking on him, you're the intelligent one that wanted to stick him with that shit, you check on him!"
hahahah fucking crazy moment.
When they injected him the second time would have been funny for him to yell "I'm ALIVE!!!"
Next their going to give a guy steroids or something
Lol, making assumptions because houston is in great physical condition.... "Oh must be steroids".. Idiots.
@@Thoryl32 goes to show most men in these comments sit down to piss
*Huston actually dies*
Doctor: "Huston, we have a problem!"
wazamztar we’ve had*
Very much agreed. He was a tire changer before he stepped into MMA. For someone to do that and become a star in that amount of time is amazing.
Dear Houston Alexander :As a right now, I'm taking down all the bad comments I had made about you brother. Peace.
Loool wtf
'houston,we got a problem.. with that adrenalin' xD
Exactly what i was thinking
houston has got a future in movies thats granted
7:05 you better laugh with him
Tears are an outlet for all emotions. The adrenaline got him so aggravated that he most likely wanted to destroy something, which is why he punched the dummy so many times. However, he forced himself to stop, so his body turned to releasing tears in order to vent the anger.
You can also tell by simply watching the slow motion that the form and delivery of the second punch was by far the best of the three its possible that the third punch would have had more power had it been delivered correctly. I would like to see a real large scale study on the effects of adrenaline on power.
6:18 nono, you see this goes to show it doesn't matter how angry someone is or how jacked on adrenaline they are. What matters in boxing/mma is technique. The difference between the 2 punches is his technique
After the punches, the host was standing back there with a look on his face like he just created the hulk and was over joyed about it!
it doesn't matter what his hardest punch is-- the point of this is to measure the effect of adrenaline on his punching strength.
It also doesn't take into account whether his hand is sore from previous punches
The thing about natural adrenaline is that your mind and body are already putting all the pieces in place to ensure that the adrenaline does the job effectively. You not only get power, but in some cases you get increased focus and control. That said, there are also times where we can get overwhelmed by our adrenaline (particularly if we're not accustomed to experiencing it regularly), and in those cases everything becomes a frantic blur that's hard to remember or control.
I feel like external adrenaline does just that: provide something foreign that the body wasn't completely prepared for, and causing Houston to lose some of his focus while trying to control all of the excess energy and rage. Regardless of whether he put more juice behind his punch, accuracy plays a big part in ensuring that energy is fully transmitted into, and registered by, the dummy's measuring equipment.
At the 1000 result, the trajectory of the punch was longer, so all calculations are useless.
nope, his fist is at max speed way before he impacts the target no matter if the trajectory is a bit longer or shorter, he is not stepping into the punch so there is no extra force from that, the punches were all straight on, if anything then the longer trajectory would cause him to not be able to follow thru as well as the other punches.
You forgot about muscular leverage adding as a factor to this calculation. That includes angling and not just...
yeah these sport "science" videos are a fucking joke
And shoulder was turned more too.
@@GeirGunnarss You don't know shit about punching ;(
1:14 you gotta love that. Over here they would have cancelled the show immediately, suspend the athlete for life, sue the doctor, the TV-show and replaced the program by another cookingshow.
I love Sport Science!
He went from Alexander adrenaline to super sayian 2 lol
Adrenaline causes a surge in emotions. He wasn't crying in sadness, When he was emotional before. He was using pure rage which also causes an emotional outbreak.
I can feel like...runnin' through my veins...RUUUUNNIN' THROUUUUGH MY VEEEEIIINS..
The natural adrenaline is much more powerful than any medication, that was nothing, that was just a verbal trigger, had it been a real present trigger like his mum dying and her murderer infront of him, he could hit up to 3000lbs. It all depends on the situation and the cause of adrenaline.
Man, what a good sport he is going through that experiment for science. That was intense.
I’ll also add
That with mma/boxing
It’s not always about punching power
They should also test focus stamina etc
Somehow if possible, reaction time… mental/physical reaction time.
The emotional response and involuntary tensing of the muscles from too much adrenaline decreases reaction time, speed, and vision. The negative side effects of natural adrenaline are reduced for individuals who are used to it, but you can see that he even had difficulty hitting the target squarely with the injection.
Respect to this guy for going through with the experiment. Those shots didn't look very fun, or precise o.o
coulda used some of that adrenaline against Kimbo
The Host face reaction in back ground is hilariously funny at 5:15-5:27
Adrenaline makes you tired after it's effect stops, so I don't think this is a good tactic unless you are sure to make a KO in the first round. Even if you have the stamina to keep on going, you are still going to suddenly lose a lot of power in the middle of the fight.
5:23 guy in the blue shirt is like '' The fuck is wrong with you'' :D LOL
Houston we have a problem!
yeah. i think the emotional load was as important as the actual physiological change.
I'm going to call bullshit on this. My suspicions are that he did punch over 1000 lbs, however the producers would not allow that to have been promoted.
5:24 "aww shit just got real bro"
When he was injected with adrenaline he lost control of his punches you can compare the forms, and the with the adrenaline totally threw him off, but it did give him that killing emotion that can really only be brought out in rare cases like this which can help if controlled to a degree.
His crying made me a fan, I want this guy to win his next fight badly
The problem is that much adrenaline gives you the shakes but prolonged energy. So the one time force should be lower
This is amazing for just a straight right. He should have done a hook as well, he would have probably doubled the force.
Speaks more about the balance of emotion and technique
his own adrenaline 1 punch of 1000lbs of force. The injected adrenaline was 8 punches of 900 lbs of force. I think a trained fighter would have a better chance of surviving a 1000lb punch,(saying the hit is dodged) vs surviving 8 punches of 900lb force.
I remember watching this episode and it just made realize a human athlete of Houston Alexander's stature doesn't need adrenaline really..
WAIT WAIT WAIT holdon... 60% of 1000 is 600... and and they said when he punched with natural adrenaline.. they said he punched with 60% more.. shouldnt it be 40% more since 40% of 1000 is 400
I could have guessed this result. When you produce adrenaline by yourself it goes straight into a major vein to the heart...when you inject it it has to percolate through muscle tissue
Reading all these comments from years ago, damn i didnt know there were so many punching experts on you tube.
man...watching him cry...a small part of me just died
5:19 ..... THE BEAST!
He probably got more adrenaline from the way that “Dr” injected (stabbed) him lol
its actually the adrenaline that takes over you...these kind of medical tools and so much adrenaline is not a plaything....
You didn't get the point of the experience, it's all about comparing blows with/without adrenalin, actually they could've token any guy able to get himself excited and in fight mood and done the same experience.
brah i even felt houston's energy... mentally. btw he was tired from before so the later punches aren't accurate.
I think the boost is about even, but he's much more focused when he's got his reason maybe more of a solid blow
This entire episode was such an insult to Houston himself and the entire world/sport of mma
the kind of the punches are diffrent. u can see it in the slowmo. the 1000lbs punch go right trough the dummy. the other punches goes only on the dummy right to the face.
7:06 evilest damn laugh ever
his angles were different when he hit, down and straight forward, and his follow through was different, also...
2:10
'Houston, we have a problem''
did anyone else think that after the second injection he was going to turn green and start attacking everyone
obviously they aren't going to say the injected adrenaline is going to produce a stronger punch than natural adrenaline, or else everyone would use the artificial stimulant to get a better result.
@kylildj - yeah, that's what a shot of adrenaline would do to you.
you can see he wanted to cry when the doctor put the needle in his body LOOL
It's like they're expecting huston to transform into something else. "BP Rising, his heart rate is rising!! Doctor!!! IT'S At CRITICALLL!!!" Huston becomes a slobbering, rampaging beast "AAAAAAAHHHHHH RUN EVERYONE!!! RUUUUUUUNN! AAAAAAAGGGHH" Huston eats doctor.
Probably not the first time houston injected something into his body. LMFAO
There are couple of examples, that prove natural/emotional adrenaline is very strong stimulator. Ive heard about guy who lifted car to get to his kids. Not entirely lifted, but enough to get inside.
Yea, the tears and anger mixed in. Explanation?????
+jack “of” Adraline comes with fear, comes with sadness and with anger. Any more questions?
Apparently, tears, anger, sadness, laughter, happiness, it all comes from the same source, adrenaline
The punch he throws with the trainers motivation just has way better form and he follows through, thats why there was a difference
why in the world did he cry after punching the dummy? hahahaha!
its crazy that gray maynards punch was 1400 lbs and hes so much smaller....
also, if he had access to regular hospital adrenaline, he could have put it right into the bloodstream, with instant effect. with epi-pens, it takes 15 mins, diluted somewhat. bet you the "doctor" didn't even factor that in.
You know why it's less on Adrenaline? Because the real emotion of rage, fear, love will ALWAYS be stronger than anything chemical. We put our soul in our emotion the substance just pushes us to that feeling. Same thing that drugs do. They push us to happiness, they do NOT make you happy. True happiness can not be matched by a chemical, same with rage.
holy shit this guy is so intense! gawd damn!!!
my man cried this shits deep
As an actual scientist, I also find their methodology hysterical... this entire show, while entirely certain these 'scientists' mean well, has led to my having many an ignorant conversation with other martial artists who take this data as gospel. It is nothing but sensationalized pseudoscience. It is however entertaining... if you can get over the nonsensical methodology. Cheers.
I wonder, how hard could he have hit with the natural and synthetic adrenaline combined?
maybe it will work the other way. Collapse or something like this
Joe Marvin I'm pretty sure that would kill him
Now this man could break a bat!
There's one thing I don't get here, they gave him 2 0.3 shots of Artificial adrenaline so in total 0.6 however they never said how much adrenaline the body produces what if the body produces I dunno (example) 0.8? then surly that factor doesn't make this test fair? am I right? if not please explain! other that that excellent video!
His last name isn't Houston, silly nurse. and they meant to say a 40% increase ha
Not sure I would want doctors/scientists working on me that enter my first name as my last name on the computer... You can see the woman putting in "Houston" for his last name...
One time I got so angry over something and I picked up this huge machine in a weight room , like I lifted it off the ground. And when I calmed down , I tried to pick it up again and I couldn't.
Natural is always best, hands down on anything.
Natural Super Saiyan abilities vs. injected Super Saiyan abilites... this dude is a beast and reminds me of how Vegeta lost to the Androids and built up his rage on the fact that he lost easily...
I wanna be a super saiyan!!! I wanna!!!! I wannna!!
it really is adrenaline acctually makes your blood pump faster
Respect for Houston Alexander!
lol it happens that 400 is 60% of 600, and 600+400=1000, so on this point they're actually accurate.
Adrenaline causes a surge in emotions.
i loved how in the replay of him raging, the host was in the backround roaring with houston hahaha
Your comment made me laugh out loud. :)
at 2:03 they typed "Houston" in the Last Name space
oh ok but that still doesn't prove how much the body gives its self if its less then it must be stronger however if its more they didn't do the test right because they gave him less of the other?
He was crying because he got an owie from the shots.
Holy S*** imagine if Clay Guida takes adrenaline hahahha he'd probably explode.
which makes him insanely dangerous in a fight =D
i feel bad for him dang those emotions :o
I really wish he wasn't alright. Then they'd have to say "Houston, we have a problem!".
A good martial artist/fighter keeps his cool. When he cried I lol'd. Only to think ' :'( mommy he hurted me.' LOL
To bad houston is lacking tons of skill and experience... he has natural power much like Rampage, Evans, Lidell etc etc etc... but not much experience or technique..he is mainly a kick boxer...ground game sucks...id like to see him go to a jits camp or wrestling camp and put it all together and come back and try another shot at the UFC...houston hits like a truck
even though the adrenaline that was injected into him wasn't as powerful as the body's natural adrenaline, the injection of adrenaline would probably last alot longer than the natural. just my thought!
His power punching technique is horrible. It's good for MMA purposes, short pull back movement before the punch, hard to read, hits fast and sturdy, but it doesn't have power behind it. Should he know how to punch like a boxer would, he could deliver that 1000 lbs initially.
