Basically, how much force in kg is needed to break various bones in the body purely with LS/Grip, from the weakest to strongest (to be specific: bone that scales to 375 joules, arm bones, ribs, femur, bone that scales to 9920 joules and palm)
 
That's range varies a lot and entirely dependent on each bone individually, the extent and type of the break you're working with, after all there's a decent difference between maybe like a simple hairline fracture and a full communited fracture where the entire bone is shattered. Like is the break you're wanting only occurring within the area the palm is occupying or does it extend last that? Like its all case by case in how you'd want to go about calculating that for each different bone
 
That's just the energy. LS is a whole different ball game.

Also, each bone varies wildly.

It's in the area of the palm. Also I specified which bones are being broken, since it obviously would vary a lot (but maybe I should remove 300-9920 joules bones from that list)
 
Dalesean is on point here.
If you look into the biomechanics of bones, each bone is structurally different and adapted to different stresses.

For example, your arms and neck can't withstand the same business as your legs for long. Your skull isn't as strong as the femurs as it doesn't need to, etc.

The surface area for LS breaking isn't the same as a strike, meaning you'd need to look for harder, better feats for this.

If you want a general rating, Above Average factoring hysterical strength puts Newtons to max drive on the muscles and bones to where they fracture/tear. Average if it's bones technically anyone could snap (fingers, weak bones like that one in your shoulder)

Thanks. Basically ranges to which this could scale it's what I was going for. I just wanted to know - does it falls into superhuman categories or it's very much doable for random people
