What would happen if both muscles of an antagonist pair contracted simultaneously?

This is not possible. The spinal cord is wired so that when an extensor muscle contracts, a flexor muscle must relax. It is not possible to contract antagonizing muscle groups at the same time.

∙ 12y agoAs per anatomy, antagonist muscles are arranged only on one side oF limb as the other aspect contains agonist muscles.. and its the basic tendency of body tat when agonist goes into flxion then antagonist relaxes hence two antagonist can work together bt not at same place may b at different joints.. if both contract then opposite movt takes place as for example elow flexion dne by agonist nd knee flexion dne by agonist bt as soon as thaier antagonist contract there occurs extension at both joints..

What muscle creates the movement when somebody touches and holds their finger on their nose?
If I'm not mistaken I believe that for this movement to happen there are two muscles that need to be used- because muscles work in pairs. For this particular movement I am sure that the Agonist muscle (prime mover), the muscle that relaxes, is the Bicep. And the Antagonist, the muscle that contracts, is the Tricep.

Do you have to think of a movement before it will happen?
With some muscles, called voluntary muscles, you must think of the movement for it to happen. With involuntary muscles, however (like the heart and diaphragm), your brain does the moving automatically without you having to think about it ahead of time.
