One potential drawback of bulking up too much is sacrificing power. Strength is how much force I can produce; power is how rapidly I produce it. Strength and power are not independent, but there is some trade-off between the two: a strong woman may be able to lift a cow above her head, but not rapidly. In contrast, a powerful woman cannot lift as substantial a load, but she can hoist less hefty things more swiftly and repeatedly.
