To add one for the Chi 'thing', my friend could break those plastic chop-sticks by pushing them into his throat. They'd go in small point first and he'd keep applying the pressure until *snap*
I was bloody annoyed, I'd been training with him and the same sifu for a number of years but he alone got the Chi teachings. I tried to watch him very closely and could only guess that he was holding air in his wind-pipe, perhaps to strengthen or bolster it. No baking involved here.
Oh, and just to add these unbending items were pushed into the throat and above the suprasternal notch.
