To form a cross bridge, during muscle contraction:
1. the myosin head binds to the exposed active sites on actin utilising the energy from ATP hydrolysis
2. the myosin head binds to the exposed active sites on actin and then the ATP binds to its site on myosin head
3. the actin binds to the exposed active sites on myosin head utilising the energy from ATP hydrolysis
4. the actin binds to the exposed active sites on myosin head and then the ATP binds to its site on actin

The process of skeletal muscle contraction continues till:
1. Myosin goes back to its relaxed state.
2. A cross bridge is formed.
3. Ca2+ ions are pumped back to the sarcoplasmic cisternae.
4. Lactic acid accumulates in the muscle
