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.!!
