Muscles can only pull not push. That is why they work in pairs an example is your tricep and bicep, your bicep pulls your arm up and your tricep pulls your arm down.

No - push-ups will bulk up your pectoral, bicep, and tricep muscles.
Why are opposing muscles needed at a joint?
your muscle is only built to move your bone one way. you have two muscles for each action. for example, in order to move your arm, to move it up your bicep will contractand your tricep will not be working, to move it back down your bicep will then relax. in order to move your arm backwards your tricep will contract and your bicep will be relaxed and to return to its original state the tricep will relax. hope this helps.!!

Do muscles always work in pairs?
Yes they do, they're called antagonistic pairs. However, I have also heard that there is a paradox that happens when you try to stand up from a sitting position which should be impossible because your hamstings and quadriceps are both contracting at the same time rather than one contracting and the other relaxing as antagonistic pairs should work.
