How does a human lift a weight? Can we relate the dynamics of the lift to the molecular actin–myosin interactions responsible for muscle contraction? We address these questions with bench press experiments that we analyse with a theoretical model, based on the sliding filament theory. The agreement is fair, and we discuss its possible extension to medical diagnostics.
