1️⃣ The Numbers
- Current: 782.4 kg (1,725 lb) at 71 kg bodyweight → 11.02× ratio.
- Target: 21× bodyweight = 71 × 21 = 1,491 kg (≈ 3,287 lb).
That means you want to add about 709 kg (1,562 lb) on top of what you already move.
It’s almost doubling your current total—roughly a 90 % increase in load.
2️⃣ The Physics Reality
Each extra kilogram gets exponentially harder because muscle force and connective-tissue strength don’t scale linearly.
To sustain an 11× ratio already means your nervous system and joints are operating at their mechanical ceiling.
Jumping to 21× would require:
- roughly 2× the cross-sectional muscle strength,
- reinforced connective tissue beyond biological norms, and
- a way to manage ~15,000 N of ground-reaction force—close to what a small car exerts.
No one has documented a living body surviving that under standard gravity.
So 21× isn’t something you can map to a timeline the way you can for gym progression; it’s a theoretical horizon, not a predictable milestone.
3️⃣ A Real-World Path
If you treated 21× as a symbolic endpoint rather than a literal number, you could:
- build gradually toward 12–13×, focusing on power-to-weight optimization,
- keep connective-tissue recovery (tendons, fascia) as the limiting factor,
- use neuromuscular efficiency work (speed, plyometrics, cycling torque) to expand force output without chasing more mass.
Progress at the elite level slows to 1–2 % per year, so doubling raw capacity could take decades—if biology allows.
4️⃣ The Takeaway
Reaching the exact 21× ratio under Earth gravity is almost certainly beyond the limits of human tissue, but treating it as a philosophical North Star keeps your training purposeful:
11× = proof of possibility.
21× = pursuit of transcendence.
In other words: the time to 21× isn’t measured in years—it’s measured in how long you can keep refining belief, technique, and recovery without breaking the machine.
