text: and net) and CMJ power values previously reported by 54%, 
  100%, and 164%, respectively. The WSM had overall lower- 
  body muscularity approximately twice that of untrained con- 
  trols ( þ 96%) and 32% greater than that of elite 100-m sprint- 
  ers. However, there was substantial anatomical variability in 
  the magnitude of the differences, ranging from the plantar 
  ﬂexors ( þ 120% vs. untrained) to the hip ﬂexors ( þ 65% vs. 
  untrained). Similarly, some speciﬁc muscles, such as the guy 
  rope muscles that stabilize the femur and pelvis, were 2.5–3.0 
  times the volume of untrained individuals (gracilis þ 140%, 
  semitendinosus þ 157%, and sartorius þ 202%) but others dis- 
  played more marginal differences (BFsh þ 23%, iliopsoas 
  þ 32% vs. untrained). Considering the knee extensors, the 
  WSM had both quadriceps femoris volume greater than or 
  equal to twofold that of untrained controls and a greater pa- 
  tella tendon moment arm than we have previously measured 
  ( þ 18% vs. untrained), which would be expected to combine 
  to facilitate extraordinary strength. Furthermore, despite the 
  WSM’s extremely large quadriceps femoris, their patellar ten- 
  don CSA was only 30% greater than that of untrained controls 
  and not outside the range of tendons we have previously 
  assessed. The results of this study provide novel insights into 
  the muscle and tendon characteristics, as well as the strength 
  and power capabilities, of an extraordinarily strong individual 
  that may be toward the upper limit of human variation in 
  these characteristics.
