Jumping off of a roof. Of a 4 story building.
And taking the impact.

The mental wall before it, running on an iced up thin ledge, dark emptyness on my left, bad drop on the right.
Footsteps and flashlight beams getting dangerously close, need it to plan it right, when they are turning on the stairs, facing away. Running towards the deep darkness and kicking off hard at the end.

There was a very thin layer of fresh snow around the building, that was slowly falling. Revealing any tracks around the building.

I was trespassing a construction site. Cops came, because of other trespassers happened to be in the same building, that had been spotted.

I needed to make it to the other side of the mound of dirt, a fair bit away from the building. So my landing wouldn't leave a mark on the snow. I remembered there were no tracks on that side of the building.

I landed pretty hard and went into prone sideways roll to keep a low profile. It's hard to predict your path at night, the moment of impact, to compensate for rotation midflight, for wind etc.
8 years of parkour helped.

Quickly crawled my way over to a close by tree. And hanged around there for a while. Waiting for my damage report to arrive. Before moving out.

Hmmm
There's only one thing that I found to be incredibly difficult that I've done physically and that was a pretty extreme case

My mother who wasn't doing well weighed around 260 to 300 lb I think and I was about 16 well anyways she fell over and she couldn't get up and yeah she was bigger than me I'll just say that

I did manage to get her up at some point although she was not helpful in that process at all matter of fact she kept squirming and made me tweak my back that was single-handedly the most strenuous thing I have ever done physically

One time I even out sprinted the School soccer team and that was easier

Although while I'm incredibly good at like really hard exercises for very short amount of time easy exercises for a long amount of time kill me I have zero stamina

I'd probably be able to flip over a van before I'd be able to run at a steady pace for a mile and even then that's probably because I have crap lungs and asthma as well as a pollen allergy and I'm a wee bit overweight no matter how much exercise I do there's a certain amount of weight I can lose and then I just stop losing weight

Probably competing in bodybuilding in general.
When you start prepping between 16-24 week after a long bulk. Not only do you keep the same insensitive and keep hitting new PRs at the gym 5 days a week, you also have the added cardio slowly each week and food decreasing from your meal plan.. body fat is obviously extremely low and vascularity high to show muscles and many pros have their calories as low as 1100 and doing two hour cardio extra a day on top of training. Weighing chicken breast, macros etc is the norm. Your hormones get messed up, period stopps, you have no energy and are always in a bad grumpy mood but winning is worth it. I’d love to. Get my pro card one day and go on to IFBB but hey who knows.. next comp is in July for me

I’ve never been physically strong, the biggest survival thing I ever had was try to stave alive when doctors did not know what was wrong with me, I believe God kept me alive, cause it took 5 years for them to discover the problem and people with my health history would sometimes die in 3-6 months, your very hard working, biggest thing I ever did as a job was stand for 8 hours a day in retail, but that would be easy for most people.

Walking up two flights of stairs in the full grips of severe anemia. And managed it without a heart attack or stroke or passing out from lack of oxygen generally.
Not really into physically challenging things as much as adventurous. So not sure on B. I would like another biking road trip. They are pretty tough on the body.

Razp_Sorbet · Answer

6 hr hike up a hill you damn near had to climb with heavy backpacks 3 people spraining their ankles along the way so needing to lean on other people to get up, just to get to a camp site that was only a 15 min flat ground walk from where we started to stay for only 1 night in a bivouac.

I was 13 the first time and had the audacity to go back and do it again when I was 16 🥴
