what ever the last person say was wrong, its when lets said ur lifting a weight, with ur biceps & triceps, going toward you and back, when you go toward, ur bicep is getting the workout, and the triceps is relaxing, but when the weight is farther away from you, ur bicep is relaxed, and ur triceps is getting the work out.
so
they work together, one working while one relaxes, then they" switch shifts "
hope i could help

P.S. i just learned this while i was doing my hw,2 minutes ago,i was looking up the question too. =]

∙ 9y agoMany of the muscles in the human body work in pairs in order to produce the movement of our skeleton. These muscles are located on opposite sides of the bone, and function so that when one is contracted the other is relaxed. This is referred to as antagonistic muscle action. Many of the muscles that we use to move our limbs work in this way.
