Prime mover is the bicep and the antagonist is the tricep.

Do you mean flexion and (abd)uction?? If so, the prime mover would be the deltoid muscle with many smaller muscles assisting. If you are in fact meaning flexion and adduction, the prime mover would be the pectoralis major and the latissimus dorsi with many smaller muscles assisting.
prime movers : muscle that initiate a particular movement synergism : muscles that have the same action of the prime mover antagonist : muscles that come into play to oppose a certain movement
A prime mover is the muscle that has the most influence in one direction on the joint it acts on. For example the prime mover in extension of the forearm is the triceps.
the prime mover is the muscle responsible for most of the movement in a group of muscles; called the chief muscle.
Antagonist: Controls movement, opposite of prime mover Prime Mover: Main muscle that is directly responsible for movement Synergist: Aids in movement of muscle
Prime mover in medical terms means the muscle that is mainly responsible for a given motion.
An agonist (prime mover)
a prime mover is the main muscle that causes movement. In the case of the hip flexion, the prime mover would be the rectus femoris or the ilopsoas
