Why are my fingers, when my hand is laying relaxed with its knuckles on a surface, not straight but curled up?

Is this also when you’re asleep or dead? Why is it like this?

your finger is moved by two sets of muscles that act opposite to each other, one set extends your finger while the other folds it

usually those muscles are in balance, so it is sort of a middle ground, half curled

same goes with pretty much any part of your body – your abs are curling you forward, your erector spinae muscle set curls you backwards

that’s why complex exercises like deadlifts, squats, etc are much better than isolated ones, they work on both sets of musclesgroups
