Agreed. The muscles do operate when using 'it', but in a different way than the simple Western biomechanical view, i.e. bones and joints as levers and power coming from the muscles associated with each lever.

I do hope to try and broaden your view (not an uncommon one) on the horizons of "Western biomechanics" in this context.

You mean a curl like this, right? The normal way of doing it (joint isolation and leverage) is antithetical to 'it',

Quite so.

Good, but let's stick with "curl" as meaning the tradition leveraged one . How, if at all, would you differentiate between what is occurring in the musculature in a "curl' (in that leverage sense), and a standing snatch of the weight from suspended at the waist to the same ending position?
