Adamantine bones

One of my big advantages in hand-to-hand combat is my adamantine bone density. The systematic strengthening of bones under tension, bending, torsion, fatigue, and sheer was a key element of my grandfather’s unorthodox training regimen. Bones respond to stress the same way muscles do. Injure them slightly, and they heal back stronger. Continue that process systematically for twenty-five years, and what you get is a skeleton made of drastically different stuff than yours. Think of the difference between you and the winner of last year’s World Strongest Man competition. Can you flip a 8,000 pound Dodge Ram onto its roof with your bare hands? Didn’t think so. That’s the same disparity between the density of your bones and mine. Put simply, I punch you, you break. You punch me, you break.
