Databooks are still considered canon unless state otherwise.

If physical strength is being increased through each Gate release, what else can it be other than muscle usage ? The heart is a muscle anyway and the lungs (i.e. respiration/breathing) are entirely controlled by muscular movements. In addition, where is it ever mentioned that other organs (and organ systems) "pick up the slack" ? Not to mention, the only organ systems that would directly enhance the body's muscular strength output are the musculoskeletal system, the cardiovascular system and the respiratory system (all of which are powered by muscles). Things like the endocrine and nervous system only work to unlock more muscular power. So you can't get around the fact that it all revolves around muscle usage.

So after the first Gate brings muscular output to 100%, the only other direction it can go with further Gate releases is beyond 100. So Eight Gates users must logically have this power.
