A comparison of the standard barbell bench press and novel BandBell bench press
… whole body sEMG of the barbell with the Bandbell bench press. Twelve subjects with at least five years of resistance training experience volunteered to take part in the study (height, 190 ± 7 cm; bodyweight, 107 ± 16kg). All subjects were familiar with the bench press exercise and had trained it …

Effect of Palm Temperature on Fatigue During High Intensity Bench Press Exercise
… height = 178±7 cm, body mass = 81.5±11.3kg, 1RM Bench press = 123.5±12.6 kg, % body fat = 10.3±5.4%, weight training experience = 10±6 yr) performed 4 sets of 85% 1RM bench press exercise to fatigue, with 3min rest intervals. Exercise trials were performed in counterbalanced order on three days, …

The effect of mechanical vibration on acute power output in the bench press
… vibration on acute power output in the bench press. A total of 10 male subjects performed 3 sets of 3 reps of bench presses using a load equal to 70% one repetition maximum (1RM) on two occasions separated by 3 days. One occasion served as the experimental (vibration) condition while the …

Comparing the acute effects of elastic resistance bands on kinetics and kinematics during the bench press exercise
… both kinetic and kinematic variables within a bench press. To test this, two loading conditions (15% and 25% of 1RM) were used and each resistance load was added to a base of 60% of 1RM free weights. Twelve recreationally trained male athletes participated. They were familiarized with the …

Determination of static contraction times to exhaustion for given percentages of a 1 Rm in the bench press, leg press, and pulldown exercises
… based on percentages of the 1 RM in the bench press, leg press, and pulldown exercises. Eleven healthy males, age 27.7 +/- 5.5 years, volunteered for the study to compare the strength differences between their maximum isotonic strength and isometric strength (a static contraction hold) in …

The validity of using grip strength to represent total body strength and of using a 1Rm bench press to represent upper body strength
… also administered a grip strength test and a 1RM bench press test. Two criterion measures of strength were identified from the results of the isometric strength tests: (1) total body strength was defined as the sum of the 22 isometric strength measurements and (2) upper body strength was defined …

Effects of a 500 mile backpacking through hike on the performance of a competitive powerlifter: An observational case study
… metabolic rate, blood lipids, strength in squat, bench press, and deadlift, vertical leap, muscular endurance in pull ups, resting heart rate, and resting blood pressure. These variables were measured before and after the 34 day hike. Results- Maximal squat performance decreased by 29.5kg (19%). …

A Comparison of Strength Improvement on Free Weights and the Universal Centurion
… and the other with the Universal Centurion. The bench press exercise was utilized as both the exercise medium for the eight-week training period and also as the testing medium for the pre- and post-tests.</p> <p>Pre- and post-test differences between the two groups were compared by an analysis of …

Muscle damage and the repeated bout effect in male bodybuilders following unaccustomed resistance exercise
… same exercises two weeks later. Muscle function (bench press throw, maximal isokinetic elbow extension and flexion concentric torque: MVC torque), muscle soreness using a visual analogue scale (VAS: 100-mm), and plasma creatine kinase (CK) activity were assessed before, immediately after and 24, …

Effects of Caffeine on Muscular Strength
… of successfully completed reps at 85% of 1RM bench press. Fifteen recreationally trained males were tested for their 1RM on bench press. Subjects completed 3 randomized, double blind tria ls at 85% of their 1RM to failure after receiving caffeine, a placebo, or no treatment. Successful reps …

The Effect Of Practical Blood Flow Restriction Training On Body Composition And Muscular Strength In College-Aged Individuals
… percentage. Maximal strength was assessed on the bench press and back squat to determine workloads during the training programs. Both groups completed a four-week training program consisting of both upper and lower body training. The BFR program consisted of four sets (1 set x 30 repetitions and 3 …

The assessment of the efficacy of the mobile training system after implementation in South African rugby playing schools
… muscular strength (bilateral grip strength and bench press), muscular endurance (1min push-ups), sprint times (10 m and 40 m) and aerobic capacity (multi-stage shuttle run test). All Tests were conducted during February and October of 2013. A rating of the extent to the players used the MSTS was …

The effect of exercise training on physical fitness in type 2 diabetes mellitus
… strength was measured as the 8 RM on the leg press, bench press and seated row. The rate of strength development was measured as monthly workload increments (month 1-6) on 11 strength exercises. V˙O2peak improved by 1.73 and 1.93 mLO2/kg/min with A and A+R respectively compared to C …

The effects of creatine supplementation on performance and body composition of female athletes
… test (pre-test and 3 minutes post-test), a 1RM bench press and 1RM leg extension test. Pre-,mid-, and post- values of blood parameters (BUN and GPT) were measured in order to ensure the safety of the subjects. Data was analyzed using two-way ANOVA with repeated measures, and values are presented …
