Notice that the bicep connects very close to the fulcrum of your lower arm. What implications will this have to the forces that your bicep must exert upon your lower arm in order to lift any mass that you hold?
Bicep Muscle would need to apply greater force in order to balance the moment generated by holding mass in hand because muscle force×distance = constant so by decreasing distance would increase force in bicep.

Hold your upper arm vertical and your lower arm horizontal with your hand palm-down on a table, as shown in the figure. If you now push down on the table, youll feel that your triceps muscle has contracted and is trying to pivot your lower arm about the elbow joint. If a person with the arm dimensions shown pushes down hard with a 90 N force (about 20 lbs), what force must the triceps muscle provide? You can ignore the...
