A Wall Sit Shakes When Force Wobbles

A wall sit feels still at first. Then your legs start negotiating.

As motor units tire, your nervous system swaps in fresh fibers to keep the knee and hip each locked at 1 angle against gravity. Each handoff nudges the force output, and the nudges add up to a visible shake.

So the trembling is a hold going unstable, not a meter of strength gained — and not an order to stay down.
