This is because it is the prime mover in both cases. 2. Antagonist: The antagonistin a movement refers to the muscles that oppose the agonist. During elbow flexionwhere the bicep is the agonist, the tricep muscle is the antagonist.

Wrist flexors are the agonist muscles, while wrist extensors are the muscle antagonists. The specific names are the flexor digitorum and the extensor digitorum.
