The triceps brachii muscle does not flex the elbow; it is responsible for extending the elbow joint when it contracts.
example of flexors: Biceps when you flexexample of extensors: Triceps when you relax your arm
The triceps brachii muscle is located on the upper back half of the arm and is responsible for extending the forearm. It has three heads (hence the name "triceps") that converge to form the tendon that attaches to the elbow joint.
Extension of the forearm at the elbow joint is achieved almost entirely by the triceps brachii but extension of the arm, which actually takes place at the shoulder joint, is achieved by muscles on the back, such as the latissimus dorsi.
Yes, varying your arm positions during pushups will target different muscles. For example, wide-arm pushups target the chest and shoulders more, while diamond pushups target the triceps. Changing arm positions can help engage different muscle groups and prevent muscle imbalances.
Second class
The triceps brachii is the muscle of the body primarily used to extend the elbow. It is a long muscle that originates in the scapula.
Triceps brachiiElbow flexion is due to the contraction of the biceps brachii, the prime mover. The triceps brachii extends as the biceps brachii contracts and therefore is the antagonist muscle.

The Triceps Brachi is the antagonist for the Corachobrachialis, the Brachialis and the Biceps Brachi
your brain.... i think its that dont get mad if its not!
Triceps Brachii - it is the only muscle fleshing out the posterior humerus; its three heads arise from the shoulder girdle and proximal humerus, and it inserts into the olecranon process of the ulna. It is a powerful prime mover of elbow extension.triceps brachii
Triceps brachii
I think you are referring to the triceps. This is the muscle that attaches at the elbow and the shoulder. The one that you use when extending your arm. biceps; up triceps; under
Agonist - Pectoralis Major, Triceps Brachii Antagonist - Bicep Brachii, Latissimus Dorsi
Biceps lies anterior whereas triceps is posterior
The triceps brachii is the antagonist to the biceps brachii.
