Yes, biceps and triceps can work at the same time, especially during compound exercises that engage multiple muscle groups. For example, during a push-up or bench press, the triceps are primarily responsible for pushing, while the biceps stabilize the movement. However, they generally function in opposition—when one muscle group contracts, the other relaxes. In some exercises, like certain cable machines, both can be activated simultaneously to a degree.

How does a tricep work?

The triceps work together with the biceps. They form an antagonistic pair, which means that when one contracts the other relaxes, in order to move your bones.

How do biceps and triceps work together to move the forearm?

Biceps and triceps are antagonistic muscles that work together to move the forearm. The biceps, located at the front of the upper arm, contracts to flex the elbow and lift the forearm, while the triceps, located at the back, extends the elbow to lower the forearm. During activities such as lifting or pushing, the biceps and triceps coordinate their actions to create smooth and controlled movements. This balance ensures proper joint function and stability in the arm.
