No matter whether you're pulling or pushing, your muscles are either:

- **Getting longer - relaxing** when they are not actively contracting, or
- **Getting shorter - contracting** when they are actively engaged in movement.

Muscle contraction typically involves shortening the muscle fibers, while relaxation allows them to lengthen back to their resting state.
