In a skeletal lever system designed for maximum power, the muscle would be inserted far from the joint and the load would be placed close to the joint. This arrangement creates a longer lever arm for the muscle, allowing it to exert more force and generate more power. The load being placed close to the joint allows for a shorter distance for the lever arm, allowing for more movement with less input force.
