Chelsea Goodenough, B.S.The human body is capable of powerful things. When in prime condition, we are capable of adrenaline induced She-Hulk strength, and fighting the effect of zero gravity by walking on the moon.

Consider protein building similar to a race car. The larger the engine, the greater potential for speed.
