The principle behind this is TruthInTelevision, but the idea of these inhibitors being permanently turned off or granting anything that could be considered true SuperStrength is most emphatically not. Not least because the process is actually a bit of a DangerousForbiddenTechnique in that it involves temporarily [[DivertingPower rerouting more energy to your muscles]] by turning critical processes like ''digestion'' off. And even aside from that fact, it wouldn't take long to do serious damage to your body. The only way to utilize this phenomenon constructively is by genetically engineering humans to have much more resilient bones, tendons, and muscle fibers; in other words, giving a full set of RequiredSecondaryPowers to use super strength safely. If it is done, then you actually can have a tiny waif or bishie boy throwing athletes around. Compare NinetyPercentOfYourBrain, where powers activate the unused brain potential instead of unused muscle potential.

* In ''The Sensitive Man'' by Creator/PoulAnderson, the title character has not only this but many other abilities normally displayed only by psychotics. After a rescue in which he is taken for a mutant or an alien, he confesses to this... and how he's about to have a nervous breakdown.

* It's implied that this is why Saitama from ''Webcomic/OnePunchMan'' is able to do such ridiculously over-the-top feats -- during his three years of training, he reached his body's limits, and then broke past them, allowing himself to get stronger continuously ''with no upper limit''. [[spoiler: It’s also implied his {{Determinator}} mindset helped with this. In the OPM-verse, strong enough desires can transform you. Most of the time it happens to people who treat something silly as SeriousBusiness, but for Saitama? His desire was… to be the strongest. And he never stopped training to reach that, no matter the damage it caused his body. [[BlessedWithSuck And so he is.]]]]
