supranormal

Exceeding typical limits

Supranormal means above or beyond normal—exceeding typical limits or standards.

The term appears in scientific and medical contexts to describe measurements or abilities that surpass the usual range: supranormal cardiac function, supranormal growth rates.

It differs from abnormal, which implies deviation in either direction; supranormal specifically means higher or better than expected.
