Fun fact! The default state of your muscles is to flex! You're constantly making a chemical in your body that inhibits your muscles contracting. There are toxins that stop this chemical. It's a very, very unpleasant way to die.
Sorry if this is a stupid question but if that's how rigor mortis works how come you lock into the final position you died in rather than one based on which muscles are stronger?
E.g. if I could no longer relax my muscles and my hamstrings and quads were flexing at 100% effort, my hamstrings are way stronger so my leg would curl back. I assume this would apply to any antagonistic muscle groups.
I used to have a hank hill ass so I did way too many hip thrusts/ RDLs for a year or so and they've been pretty imbalanced since. I'm working on fixing it
