When your muscles are stretched, their ability to generate force decreases due to the alteration in the optimal length-tension relationship. Muscles produce maximum force when they are at a specific length, and excessive stretching can place them beyond this optimal range, reducing their efficiency. Additionally, a stretched muscle may not engage its full contractile potential, leading to decreased strength during lifting. This biomechanical limitation explains why you can't lift as much when your muscles are overly stretched.
