I made a post in another thread and started thinking. Due to mechanical differences in human bodies, is it concieveable that someone lifting less weight is actually producing MORE force due to leverage?
Is there a way to assess actual contractile force of the muscle in a fashion that eliminates any structural disadvantage that would make a muscle seem weaker than it actually is?
Everyone kind of knows that the location of a fulcrum in a lever dictates the required force applied to exert a certain amount of work at its opposite end. And when you really think about it your whole body is a series of interconnected levers and pully's. Is any of this making sence or do i need to retype this?
