Muscle tissue is nearly identically the same for all vertebrate animals; there’s no way to think dinosaur muscle was better than ours.

Wrong again. Using your logic we would be significantly stronger than chimpanzees (average male weight 90 - 115 pounds). Not even close!

Location of muscle attachments is part of it, but chimpanzees are significantly stronger than humans in spite of their smaller weight.

And yet it’s still easier for me to believe that than the laws of physics being different.

“Better” may be a hard term to pin down.

I have no training here but as I understand it human muscles can be broadly categorized into types I, IIa and IIb - slow twitch and two types of fast twitch. If humans can have three types of muscles I don’t see dinosaurs could not have types of muscles that were better in some ways.
