you can get to your peak by eliminating inefficiencies, but you can't increase your peak

how do you test that? Couldn't you say the same thing about any set of muscles?

Yes, everybody has a biological strength limit. You encounter the vert limit much sooner though, IIRC

Ah that makes sense. It's the first genetic limit you hit if you're training everything harmoniously.

not sure how you could test the idea of it being first? 'Harmonious training'?

See which measure plateaus first. If squat, deadlift, bench, v. jump, maybe v. jump plateaus first
