Abstract :
Bench-press workouts are widely utilized as a prevalent training modality for enhancing upper extremity muscle strength and endurance, resulting in significant improvements in these physiological parameters. We narratively review the literature, throughout several databases, including PubMed, and Embase, for all relevant data published up to the middle of 2022. The existing body of literature encompasses a range of studies examining the impact of different bench-press postures on the level of muscular activation. Nevertheless, there remains a lack of comprehensive understanding of the complete impact of fatigue on both the muscle performance and kinetics specifically pertaining to the elbow joint.
