Eg: Not the trick stuff, I mean real life phenomena, like the mother who lifts a car if her baby is trapped underneath. Or defended themselves under attack well beyond their fighting abilities. Or truly experienced being in the zone? etc, etc

Or even just a bit outside the norm

Yep, I've experienced it. 20 years ago when my youngest son was 2 years old.
I was working, my ex was not. He got fired from every job he had, and finally decided staying home and taking care of our three sons would be an easier thing to do. Heh!
One day, it was like an hour before I needed to get my unit's info into the office so they could include it on the computer for the week. I was dressed and ready to go and was just going over the info from my unit for one last time to be sure that everything was correct. So I had on a nice dress, wearing nylons and heels, the whole nine yards for working in an office.
Our 2 year old was awake and playing nicely with his toys in my home office. My ex (then husband) was trying not to wake up, although I had asked him to please wake up and watch the baby, cuz I needed to concentrate on my work. Well.....
Our 2 year old drifted into the bathroom and began playing with the toilet lid. Lifting it... Dropping it... Lifting it... Dropping it... It was driving me to distraction!! LOL.. Twice I left my work, went in there and got him, brought him back to his toys in my office. Each time I said to my ex, PLEASE get up and watch him for me!
He finally got up, came in and got our son, gave him some cereal and I guess plopped him in front of the tv. Well that isn't gonna last long with a 2 year old. I heard my ex trying to keep the baby in the livingroom, and away from the hallway to my office and the bathroom. I thought, "oh good, I can finish this stuff now"...
I returned to my checking my unit's work. Then I hear.... silence... and a little face peeks around the corner to my office, "hi mommy!".. Then he runs into the bathroom again and begins playing with the toilet lid once more. I'm thinking, "ok, I gotta finish this at work, not here, this isn't working!" and I got up and gathered the papers and left the room to go to work.
I see my oldest son coming down the hallway, the baby playing with the toilet lid had woken him up. My ex was walking into the bathroom, (I thought) to get the baby and take him back to the livingroom. As I walk down the hallway with my oldest son, I hear from the bathroom SMACKKKKKKKKK! My ex had hit our 2 year old so hard that he had flown thru the air and landed in the bathtub! I ran in there and looked at the baby, he was breathing, but was doing one of those screams without crying. (which means he's really hurt or stunned) I yell for my oldest son to call 911, and knew I couldn't move the baby, or that could hurt him more.
I turned to my ex (who was 250 lbs of solid muscles and stood 6' 3" to my 5' 5") and with ONE PUNCH, knocked him out cold. My oldest son, having called 911, was running back down the hallway with the phone in hand. He stopped and stared at his dad, saying "wow mom!!!!!!!!!"
The ambulance arrived in just a couple of minutes, and they stepped over my ex in the hallway and attended to the baby, who was ok, just had the breath knocked out of him. He had sailed thru the air at least 6 feet into the tub! Then they checked on my ex.. and looked at me.
I explained what happened, and they said "well... he just learned the hard way, never mess with a mom's baby!"
I still don't know how the heck I managed to knock my ex out like that. lolol.. Guess the 'mama bear' in me came out. It sure was a superhuman feat at any rate...
I got a restraining order, and he was outta the house the next day. Then got a divorce. The guy was right... Nobody touches my baby like that!! ;)

Just sit down and watch people eat food in an American restaurants.
More seriously - I've been involved in accidents and I can tell you that the last few seconds seemed like hours. If you saw it on superman you would think he was super-intellegent to think so quickly - but I think most people have that ability.
Additionally, I was at a junk yard once and after taking 1.5 hours to remove a smallish engine between myself / my brother from a car, we carried to the gate to pay. The guy doubled the pre-agreed price. I was so annoyed I lifted the engine up and threw it at the guy. Maybe not superhuman but it certainly did not seem to weigh as much under those conditions.

When my Brother was 23, a car fell on a friend and I saw him lift it (alone) off him so he could be pulled out.
All this with a Rheumatic heart, of course he did have a heart attack shortly after.

No. Man cannot do it alone. I have seen healing of ill people, crippled, cancer, on their death beds - the only explanation, God. With God nothing is impossible and all things are possible.

one time my science teacher told us about a friend who lifted a car when her husband got stuck under it.
