When you are typing, you use several muscles, so there is no "antagonist muscle". A muscle pulls in 1 direction, causing a motion from a body part. The antagonist muscle is the muscle that causes the opposite motion. This is an artificial term! As typing is not a motion, but rather a complex sum of multiple motions, there is no answer to this question...
