How powerful is a human when completely over come with rage at something that he or she is present with.

E.g: A guy can see someone murdering his family with no restraints.

More delusional than powerful. It's a psychological effect rather than a physical one.

The same is true for druggies. Ask the "madman" druggie who needed six police officers to take him down how he feels the next day and he'd probably say that he's doing fine, aside from all the broken bones and eternal misery.

So you think he was just imagining the other four officers?

That´s correct. I had to deal with a girl friend who said believe herself to be posessed by a demon. When she had "episodes" she was extremely difficult to contain and strong. Once her shit stopped, she ended up with tons of muscular damage for over a week.

IIRC fight or flight responses increase heart rate and blood flow to the muscles. Since your body is also pumping adrenaline at this point people tend to get several times tougher and stronger.

No. People are genuinely much stronger than they think. However, we have physical and mental safeguards in place to prevent us from overexerting ourselves.

Taking drugs can damage or remove these safeguards entirely. The result can be long-lasting temporary or permanent muscular, cardio-vascular, bone or even neurological damage.

To put another perspective on this, professionally trained athletes will even goof up on occasion and suffer severe muscle injuries.

Imagine how the guy with no professional training feels after a beastly drug trip where he spent most of his time hopping over fences, jumping out of cars and hopping off of buildings.

Man when you got that adrenalin going you turn away from your self aware mind and things just fucking happen. it called instinct and its how most other animals are all the time but it take a certain amount of adrenalin to throw you into that state. and in that state you tend not to limit yourself. its all psychological, if you weren't in that state you would be thinking. ant your thoughts would be "I cant lift that" or "that guy would kick the shit out of me" but in that state you just do and you do your best. its caused old lady's with walkers to run. but that dose not mean she didn't hurt herself. she just ignored the pain and logical thoughts. its called the fight of flight mode (though the name sucks). this state is similar to how animals act all the time(save for some apes like us). its what causes a cat to attack a big dog. the fight or flight also causes the dog to sometimes run away because of the surprise (the cat was surprised and fought while the dog was scored and ran(fight or flight))

this is all just me thinking about it and is my opinion of course. though I am sure some of it is accurate.

Well... is the brain activates more muscle fibers at a given time than usual that gives super strength/speed. And if starts processing faster then a person can this. If it drops superfluous information such as color vision, then a person can process even faster and use the first even better. One just needs a reason.
