Do you think muscle memory refers to the training of the muscles rather than of the brain? That's not what it means. It refers to how the brain learns to use its muscles. It would be retained were the brain transplanted into a new body.
How much someone can lift is determined by the physical structures of their muscles. Their skills (which are improvements made in the brain's ability to perform tasks) don't affect those structures of the muscles.
Think about it like the computer in a car. No matter how much better the computer is you put in the car, there will still be physical limits on the car's top speed. The computer cannot increase the top speed beyond those physical limits.
