Trivia

• 100% muscle usage is different from peak human strength in that it has little to no relation to actual muscle mass. While having more muscle mass does increase the overall strength, someone of average physical strength who uses 100% of their muscle capability could overpower someone with Peak Human Strength (who would be using the normal percentage).
• In some verses, using 100% of your muscle can increase your physical capacities a hundredfold, but at the same time it could cause you your life.
