There is an "optimal" length for every muscle where the internal protein filaments (actin and myosin) have the best overlap to generate force. Stretching a muscle too far or shortening it too much reduces its power.

Applying biomechanics doesn't require a lab; it requires mindfulness: Muscle Biomechanics - Physiopedia Biomechanics of Skeletal Muscles

Most of us think of muscles as simple "engines" that pull on bones. But the —the science of how internal and external forces interact to create movement—is far more complex. Understanding these mechanics is the difference between training hard and training smart. 1. The Lever System: Why Efficiency Matters There is an "optimal" length for every muscle
