Excerpt: The bench press is the second of the three powerlifts, and is used to test the upper body strength of a lifter. For bodybuilding purposes, it is used to hypertrophy the pectorals, deltoids, and triceps. While the person lies on his or her back, the person performing the bench press lowers a weight to the level of the chest, then pushes it back up until the arm is straight and the elbows are locked . The exercise focuses on the development of the pectoralis major muscle as well as other supporting muscles including the anterior deltoids , serratus anterior , coracobrachialis ,scapulae fixers , trapezii , and the triceps . The bench press is one of the three lifts in the sport of powerlifting and is used extensively in weight training , bodybuilding and other types of fitness training to develop the chest.Form A specific form to the bench press reduces the chance of injury and maximally challenges the muscles of the chest. A barbell bench press starting position has the weight lifter lying on a bench , with the shoulder blades pinched together to create a stable, solid base for the press, also used in powerlifting to reduce the range of motion. The lifter keeps his or her feet flat on the ground or at end of the bench, with the buttocks always in contact with the bench. Powerlifters will arch their back to provide greater stability and to reduce their range of motion |
