do muscles ever reach a maximum strength? meaning if you never gain any muscle, will you eventually reach a point where you absolutely can't get any stronger?

The only ways that I know to get stronger without hypertrophing the muscle is to get a larger recruitment from the muscle fibers or to become more efficient with what you have.

so wouldn't you just eventually reach maximum strength?

why you think you're there.

i think your mom is there. BURNNNNN!!!

no, but i've thought about that in the past when i've kinda plateaued out for a while.

IMO

Yes muscles do reach maximum strength which is determined by your genetics. Each person has a different max based on his or her genetics.

My body builder friend was telling me that your muscles CAN reach a maximum strength with any given workout or diet. I was talking to him about plateauing and he advised me to change my diet a little and change my workout a little. Almost instantly i noticed a difference in strength building, in that is got better super fast. But then i plateaued again and changed back to what i was doing the first time, and it was the same, i was able to get stronger. but then i busted my shoulders so who cares.

My mom is ripped so shut the hell up Ho.

My workout regimen, which I designed to meet my stringent needs, allows me to never reach a maximum strength.

sounds like a good program
