Assume you have a 10 pound weight in your hand explain while easier to flex the right elbow when your forearm is supinated then when it is pronated

It would be easier to flex the right elbow when your forearm is supinated than pronated because the 10 pound weight would make the muscle in your arm flex and cross the elbow joint to insert on the forearm bones.
