Greetings everyone.
I was wondering as Golarion is a magic heavy world, with near infinate possibilites is it possible for humanoid races to bypass the physical limits of their bodies and possess physical powers beyond those we could never realistically achieve in the modern world from physical training alone?
I.e whether by training, magic or divinly gifts could say a Fighter become strong enough to match a Gorilla in strength or could a Human be able to out run a cheetah?
cheers.

Strength
Start with 18 STR, +2 for human or half-elf or half-orc. Increase STR every fourth level. You'll strip beyond real-life human capabilities pretty quickly. Especially if you manage a +5 bonus from a tome.
Hell, given that the in-game stats for a gorilla list his STR as 15, just start as a first level character with a STR of 16, and forget the rest of that.
Speed
Be a monk. By 6th level you match the cheetah (50 ft.), by 9th you're faster. You still won't be able to match the cheetah's sprint ability (500 ft!), though.

Bypassing the weaknesses of a petty mortal body is one of the primary goals of those who follow the Whispering Way, after all.
