Indeed, a technique such as CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing can change the genetic information of any organism including humans. If one could manipulate genes responsible for the production of myostatin (which inhibits muscle growth), the possibilities for augmenting physical strength could be boundless. But these ideas are purely hypothetical as many ethical aspects need to be settled before such enhancements realize.
