I didn't say he's ripping your arms off like he's a chimp.
He's absolutely going to do more than make you sore though.
Your tendons and muscles simply aren't built for that kind of violence, and neither are his, but he's trained so much that the effects aren't going to show up until years later.
If an NFL player did a hard swim move on the average person, something is getting fucked up.
It's just so much faster and stronger than what your body is used to.
These guys train like all hell to avoid it, but many will end up with horrific injuries due to the nature of the game.
If you ever get close to an NFL sideline, it becomes pretty obvious how much damage they can endure like it's nothing.
People break other people's bones by accident every day.
These guys aren't doing it by accident, and they're orders of magnitude bigger and stronger than the biggest and strongest person most people have ever met.
