i was be told by using the LM741Cn the circuit will not working its tru or not.. i have made a emg circuit by using lm741cn, until now the circuit not working,... i really frustrated by troubleshoot for many time.. need help

Correct. LM741 opamp is a poor choice. It is 40 years old and past its best due date.
Select a modern instrumentation amplifier that provides high CMRR.

Making R1 and R2 not match seems the wrong thing to do. U2 and U3 seem to be drawn wrong because they are just square wave generators the way they are drawn now. The labels on the capacitors are difficult to read. One of the worst difficulties with the LM741 is the dead zones near the power supply voltages, but no power supply voltages have been listed.

Fixing these things will make this easier for the rest of us.

Check out this video and this video. The guy mentions specific ICs to use. I have no idea how good his advice is, as I haven't tried out his circuit yet. I am also interested in EMG signal processing. I have just ordered EMG sensors that should arrive tomorrow. Maybe in the near future I will have more practical advice for you.

The input labels on U2 and U3 are backwards.
You fixed the resistor network properly then labeled the amplifiers backwards.
