A Comparison Between The Recovery Responses Following an Eccentrically Loaded Bench Press Protocol Vs. Regular Loading in Highly Trained Men

The influence of isometric preload on power expressed during bench press in strength-trained men.

The purpose of this study was to compare the power expressed during the bench press exercise in resistance-trained men following different pre-activation conditions. Twenty-two trained men (age 24.1 ± 1.7 years, height 178.6 ± 6.1 cm, body mass 81.1 ± 10.6 kg) completed a maximal effort bench press (1-RM) test (100.0 kg ± 8.1 kg). In a subsequent assessment, each participant performed concentri...

Effects of increased eccentric loading on bench press 1RM.

The purpose of this study was to measure the effects of additional eccentric loading on subsequent concentric strength. Eight subjects with some experience in weight training volunteered to perform maximal attempts in the barbell bench press using detaching hooks that allowed them to lower 105% of their concentric 1 repetition maximum (RM) and raise 100%. The detaching hooks allowed attachment ...

Effects of rest interval length on Smith machine bench press performance and perceived exertion in trained men.

This study compared two different rest intervals (RI) between sets of resistance exercise. Ten resistance-trained men (M age = 24.3, SD = 3.5 yr.; M weigh t= 80.0 kg, SD = 15.3; M height = 1.75 m, SD = 0.04) performed five sets of Smith machine bench presses at 60% of one repetition maximum, either with 1.5 min. or 3 min. RI between sets. Their repetition performance, total training volume, vel...

comparison of effects of an acute bout of reverse vs. compound supersets on plasma ck, igf-i, gh responses in trained men

superset exercise is a mode of strength training characterized by limited rest intervals between sets. our study aims to investigate plasma ck, igf-i, and gh responses to reverse and compound supersets. fourteen trained men (bmi= 23.25±2.59; age= 24±2.32) participated in our study. subjects were designated to two groups of 7 each, and a cross design was used in exercise performance. exercises w...
