After an earlier social media post, I realized I was using terms I have yet to define that will help with your muscle function knowledge. Muscles have 2 functions that are equally important but very different. Muscles have tone and strength. Strength is how hard a muscle can contract at any given time, typically under conscious control. This means that you can lift 30 lbs. with a bicep curl if you want to try. You decide ok, lift the weight, and the weight moves up. Conscious choice lift once. This type of muscle function also fatigues at a much higher rate than tone will.
