crushing power
Strength that destroys
Crushing power is the ability to destroy or overwhelm through sheer force.
The phrase appears in discussions of physical strength—the crushing power of a hydraulic press, of a predator's jaws—and extends to domination more broadly: The empire's crushing power subdued all resistance.
In combat sports and weightlifting, crushing power specifically describes grip strength capable of compressing objects or opponents.
