Muscles Are Meaningless/Analysis

In real life, you can usually expect that pure mass does bring a certain advantage in terms of potential power (to an extent), but it's not a set rule; muscle tissue can swell with fluid without gaining additional functional mass, in a process known as "sarcoplasmic hypertrophy". Myofibrils, the functional proteins within muscles, are a fairly compact subcellular component thinner than the human eye can detect.
