What muscle group is the primary mover of shoulder and elbow extension?
The primary muscle group responsible for shoulder and elbow extension is the triceps brachii. It consists of three heads - the long head, lateral head, and medial head.
Each head originates from various locations around the shoulder joint and converges to insert onto the ulna, which enables both elbow and shoulder extensions.
