There is no technical way of throwing an airplane backwards in flight. Reverse thrust only works on the ground. In aerobatics there is a maneuver called a hammerhead that involves going straight up until the airspeed drops to the critical point, here the pilot turns the airplane 180 degrees by the use of the rudder, and comes straight back down the same way they went up, this might be the closest way to throw an airplane backwards in flight.

When you throw a punch does your biceip contract or relax?

The bicep relaxes during the throw (the outwards motion) and the tricep contracts. MORE: If the arm/shoulder moves backwards in the lead up to the throw then the bicep might contract during that backwards motion (in anticipation of the throw). This can give greater force to the punch but might "telegraph" the punch to the target. However the bicep is relaxed during the actual throw - it is the tricep that contracts to straighten the elbow joint.
