The statement that is not true about synergistic muscles is that "The muscle that does most of the work is called the main muscle." In the context of muscle synergy, the term for the muscle doing most of the work is typically referred to as the "prime mover" or "agonist," not the "main muscle." Synergistic muscles work together to perform a movement, with the prime mover being the primary muscle responsible for the action, while synergists assist in the movement or stabilize joints.
