Big number go up. There’s no other reason to do it irl either.

Support muscles. The steel ends somewhere, real muscles stabilize the implant and even if all muscle is synthetic, you still need to fortify the bone where the implant connect onto. That’s probably why they train, to stabilize, to fortify, to integrate better. If the implant lifts 300 kg but your bone can only support 200 kg, your skeleton would *snap* right at the edge of the Cyberware.

if you go to the gym i think in Pacifica you can actually hear two people talking about this topic, one person thinks it has to do with phantom limbs and how because nearly everyone who has augmented bodies didn’t need to replace them they can’t lose the mindset of needing to work out or do things a real body would need to because it’s to ingrained into our DNA

The cyberware likely functions like mechanical steroids. Sure you have mechanical arms that can bench a tonne but you’d want to work on strengthening the actual tissue connected to the implant too.

Gotta say though that’s such a terrible design for an assisted bench press, all the disadvantages of a chest press (fixed path so less stabilizer muscles work) with all the disadvantages of a bench press (e.g. you die if there is a malfunction).
Just do handles, future people.

1. a lot of animals prefer non-chrome augmentation. At least to a higher degree than most other gangs.
2. unless you get bored, cyber ware is attached to tissue. The conecting area is going to be a potential point if failure.
Look at irl cases, actually: if your muscles grow in strength faster than your tendons can handle, you’re likely to injure yourself.

This is how women with BBLs go wrong. You still have to build the muscle that supports the implants.
