How to make human-like muscles more efficient?

So our muscles run off of oxygen, but I heard from my brother when posing this question (he's a bio major in college) that using phosphorus instead of oxygen to power our muscles would make them far more efficient. Is this true?

Also, because calcium ions in our muscles cause them to constrict, is there any different type of element or ion that could theoretically be more efficient in doing this? or quite possibly make the muscles stronger?
