Ok I've really tried to answer this question and think i'm on the right track but not sure so any help would be appreciated.
If you were to throw your arms around someone in an embrase, which pair of muscles would be mainly responsible for this action?
Thanks

Hiya MC
As you know muscles are only classed as working when they are in contraction, there are several in the arm which would be at work however the main ones in the upper arm are: biceps contracting (working) triceps extending.
This can apply down into the forearm with the ones on the inner arm contracting to bring the hug to a close and the outside ones extending, cant remember the names of them all but if you want me to check i will.
Hope that helps somewhat
