It wasn't just their strength that had improved. After coming to Bulma's home, perhaps because they had eaten poorly and lacked nutrition where Master Roshi lived, or perhaps because both of them were late bloomers, the formerly short Krillin and Goku had finally begun growing taller.
At first, they grew at roughly the same rate, so the difference in their heights wasn't very obvious. But after living there for two years, the gap became increasingly clear. Krillin was still growing, but compared to Goku, who was rapidly catching up to Yamcha's height, he seemed downright tragic.

Moreover, the Gravity Chamber was a special device that needed regular
