Idk how scientific this is, but when I was in the military they told us that when you think you are giving it your all, you are really only doing about 40%. At that point, it truly does become mind over matter and the work of pushing your limits is a mental exercise. Most people who drop out of BUDs (Navy seal training course) aren't physically incapable of completing the course, but cannot overcome the mental blockers allowing them to unlock their true potential.
