Gorilla Muscles

[horsePOWER]

doesnt CNS have anything to do with it also? i mean some powerlifters can be pretty small looking but sick on the lifts.

i thought i heard the averge person doesnt even recruit 50% of their muscle fiber potential. im sure gorillas have better ability to use much more fiber recruitment.

and cant a persons muscle attachments be slighty varied from person to person? giving some an advantage on lifts

POWER- my original post was to provoke the idea of us having rather large muscles and being weak for our size....our skeletal structure has been made to handle 10x-15x our body weight...the question was why cant we attain this function with our present bodies...even with training and gear, we are FAR from being able to handle these feats of strength....AS far as adaptation goes as one member said, training and supplementation only puts us a little closer to the bodies capabilities....I understand physics and leverages.....why can a MACAW parrot bite a broom stick in half???? our jaw muscles are 10x the size??? YET A MUSCLE 1/10th the size can do this!! just a thought guys.....we can dump this.....PBR

well if u wanted to measure the strongest muscles in the human body the jaw muscles would probably be at the top - this is due to their leverage, and not size, obviously
