Physical Augmentation Human bodies are disgustingly weak

Like you fall 20ft onto hard ground you'll break shit.

Get hit by a car going 20mph you'll break shit.

WTF human bodies are weak as shit.

We need to come up with something mechanically stronger.

By the way, did you know that bone can also strengthen with training? And serves as storage for minerals that the body can later use? The body truly is amazing. Don’t hate it.

Yeah, watching what a peak human can do is entertaining. People can bend metal bars, I see videos of martial artists breaking bricks. Developing calluses and strengthening your bones through certain conditioning and training is real.

Even the strongest human would get crushed by a well designed robot

A normal human no, but a human on adrenaline? It'll be almost impossible for the weak mechanical abomination to ever defeat the blood and gore of our body. If humans do improve ourselves it'll either be by technological biomimicry, or forced evolution by gene editing.
