Do you believe it's possible to give "110%"?
Do you think it's possible for a person to give a 110% of their effort and determination to something? Or is it just a glamorous saying?
If you said [i]maybe[/i] please elaborate which cases you think it can apply to, and which it cannot apply to.

In all technicality, no. I think I read somewhere that your body will generally only work at 80% of what it's able to.
-
100 is considered the max by most, but say you choose to say your maximum is 1000, then giving 110% would be fricken lazy.

Edited by Verbatim: 9/6/2013 8:20:24 PMNo, that's silly. The only time it's acceptable is in hyperbole, or if whatever you're describing just transcends what you're aiming for. Which, in all actuality, and when it matters, rarely happens.

1 ReplyOf course we can. We're humans not cyborgs... Remember that episode of Teen Titans?
-
If someone considers something that they did 110% of their possibly effort, it's obviously not more than they could possibly do because they actually did it, so it isn't above 100%.

1 ReplyIf you suddenly have an unusual burst of adrenaline does that mean you are using more than your 100%, or are you just only capable of using less than 100% normally and with the adrenaline you reach 100%?
-
1 ReplyNo, because "110%" is what people call your max, correct? ...So that's actually your 100%.
-
1 ReplyYeah, in the sense of breaking perceived personal limits, otherwise it's kinda impossible to succeed maximum power.
-
If somebody can put in more effort than they are currently doing , then your not giving the maximum effort in the first place. Think about it, if you put 100% into trying to lift/move something your really going to hurt yourself and your muscles are not built to give 100% outside of life or death situations.

14 RepliesYes. Anyone who says no, obviously has never played sports and turned on that extra gear in crunch time.

11 RepliesIf you are exerting 100% of your physical ability, then, you get an adrenaline boost, run faster, get stronger, all that stuff, you will be passing your physical ability, going into that 110% range. So maybe, depending on how you look at it.

10 RepliesIn short, you can only give what you've got!

2 RepliesYou can't go beyond 100%.

1 ReplyWhy is this even a question? Anyone who says yes doesn't understand incredibly basic mathematics.
-
Yes but that is based on what a 100% is. In sports over 100% of optimal performance is dangerous and push the body. Can cause injury.
-
6 RepliesNot voluntarily, but in cases of extreme danger you can give well over 100%
-
Yeah, it is Impossible. Because %100 is EVERYTHING a person can give.
