Metabolic Dominance: The Real Captain America Super Soldier Research

This post explores real-life research by DARPA to try and create super-soldiers. It explores the 'metabolically dominant soldier' program and 'peak soldier' program. There we find cooling gloves that can improve endurance, a 'fitness pill' called 516, an anti-sleep spray called orexin A, research into 'unit cohesion', myostatin blocking injections and much more.

The conclusion? We're not that far from creating a real-life Captain America. And in future, we might all benefit from this super-soldier technology. In the meantime, biohackers can learn from this research and find new ideas to explore.

Hope you enjoy this one guys! And if you want to be involved in the home-gym 'batcave' video, then be sure to submit your pictures or videos at the Facebook page. Thanks :-D

One thing that might speed this along if you wanna get sciency is looking at how the SS serum works with cap. Its stated in the comics that it stays permanent without aide because the serum essentially works like a virus constantly reproducing inside the body and overtaking the original cells replacing them with the genetically "perfect" ones the serum creates. Just an interesting point.

Could you do a video analyzing how a gymnast trains?

Dude, Your channel and quality seriously cannot get better. You're even a member at Android Authority! You are my favorite YouTuber for real. Not only do you educate me and help me become a better person, YOU REVIEW TECH! YES!

P.S, You are going to hit 100K before this year ends and even probably 150-200K. Remember this, You are the definition of quality!

The problem with this level of improvement is that it's a holistic issue, it's not as simple as growing bigger skeletal muscle, it's the problem of support structures like the skeleton itself/ligaments/tendons which aren't equipped to handle the extra load and the limitations of organs like the heart which is too small to efficiently supply oxygen to such supernatural levels of muscle and energy demand.

It's like slapping a four cylinder engine into a battle tank and being surprised when it doesn't move very well and eventually burns out completely. This is why you aren't going to take a shot and turn into a super soldier.

This is one of my favorite channel finds this year. Great videos, man.

[PabloLotta]

Really appreciate the research you go through to put out this videos. You're killing it man!

[gcvdon]

You did a video on bone and tendons, please do one on ligaments as well.

[luksanti]

impossible not to love this guy's channel....

Adam you are absolute genius, informative and entertaining, im new to your content and noticed you did a legends series. Probably not a great overall role model but Mike Tyson as a teenager under cus D'Amato would be a great vid. He trained all day, was under hypnosis apparently and watched old boxing matches all day for a six year period.

11:50 As a brazilian, I'm now intrigued as to what my country's flag is doing there lol

[lsporter]

Great research. Powerful info. You're my kind of Scientist. Cheers.

[domw]

Love your content book heros in a "realistic" it.

[rohanjosi]

I was about to ask for this video. Great Thanks

[jamiemarrin-smith]

This is cool but I’d like to learn more about l Myostatin could you perhaps do an entire video on in the future

[JimGiant]

Really looking forward to the thermo regulation video. I remember seeing a video testing a brain wave stimulation video hat a while ago, showed some really impressive results for creativity, would be interesting to see if this worked for sports too.

I'll just stick to the wim hof method

Well, In Captain America: The First Avenger, he has multiple Injections to several parts of the body at the same time. The Gene Doping would work almost exactly the same as In the film, when the problems like Cancer and splitting the wrong cells are fixed, of course.

Look into the benefits of saunas. I think you will be surprised at what they can do for performance and factors such as mitochondrial density.

Little late but for newbies, yes 516 is awesome.

[AsWithinSoWithout]

Awesome video. Incredible information. Love the knowledge you spread bro.
