The problems with using this to replace / enhance human strength already occurs with natural muscles. Our muscles are capable of far more than we actually get out of them, and in certain times of extreme stress or anguish they can be pushed far beyond "normal". The problem is that normally the muscles are restricted to what the less durable sections of the skeleton and ligament system can take. Human muscles on a sturdier frame with heavier-duty ligaments and bone attachments could achieve a lot more than they already do.
The issue is muscle tearing and skeletal damage.
You can read stories about this in the news every once and a while - a child gets hit by and forced under a car, and an average mother lifts the car off of her child. While it's horrible for your bones and all that, it's still possible.
