In: Biology
Muscles only contract and relax. So having a huge muscle is great but it can only do one extremely specific function. And that function is determined by how that specific muscle is anchored by tendons and ligaments. Almost any task that you do requires a combination of muscles and those muscles are ultimately limited by the ligaments and tendons not by the size of the muscle – in other words when building muscle you’ll hit a point of diminishing returns.
