I know college football players and wrestlers that can't dead-lift the ~340lbs (1500N). And you gain an advantage with using two legs, plus the left leg is usually not as strong as the right. With a...
2000 N is high but most definitely not out of the question in a panic stop situation. Relatively in-shape men can easily leg-press 400-500 lbs, and the impact force you'd see from a panic stop would...
