    @sacr3 9 ปีที่แล้ว +12

    I want an actual real explanation of the tears after the adrenaline shot. Is it because of the rage induced from the shot that caused his emotions to go slightly out of wack?
    I mean, after an intense fight and the adrenaline starts to wear out you shake, you may tear up a bit, etc..
    So my assumption is that this is an adrenaline rush thats abnormally induced (through injection) in which causes the same thing, shaking, tearing..
    Thats my assumption.

      +sacr3 Crying can be scientifically defined as the shedding of your tears in response to an emotional state; very different from ‘lacrimation’, which is the non-emotional shedding of tears. With that said, your plumbing apparatus that makes your tears is all the same. tear production links to the emotional centre of your brain that said you had it mostly correct :D

    • @Thoryl32
      @Thoryl32 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah your assumption is pretty accurate. Due to the abnormal amount of epinephrine injected, it put his body into overdrive. Also his body was probably in some state of shock from the injections because he wasn't in any need of adrenaline no fight or flight. So when synthetic adrenaline is used your brain doesn't understand why your body is being flooded with that chemical. Causing a bunch of side effects to happen and basically his body after it was wearing off at the end he was flooded with so much emotion, and the only his brain could process that at the end was to tear up/cry.

    @MrOverSuper 12 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    the point the video doesnt mention is when he is using adrenaline, he clearly pulls back his punch more. look at 6:15. that means that his punch is slower and he is also more open to getting hit. so what he is gaining in power, he is losing in technique and safety. not to mention how much more tired you get when angry. anger gives you quick short bursts of strong energy, but not thats not enough for a real fight.
