It's kind of a cross between the bench press and shoulder press. It works the clavicular head of the pectorals harder than the bench press. But it is really just an assistance exercise to the two mentioned.
Yes...but you could injure yourself. The Bench Press is an exercise that causes problems with shoulder flexibility.
Most people assume it's straight up and down but actually the way to get the most out of the bench press and the actual way most people perform this exercise is taking it at a slight curve on the way down more towards the body, and pressing at a slight curve as you return the bar back up, curving it towards the rack, again this is a slight curve, not a huge one, the bench press just like any other exercise you need to master form before you start stacking on weight. If you were talking about anatomical motion of the bench press, then as you lower the bar in the movement, you are extending the upper arm at the shoulder joint while flexing the forearm at the elbow joint. While pressing the weight back up you are flexing the upper arm at the shoulder joint, and extending the forearm at the elbow joint
Bench press exercises employ bones in the hand, wrist, forearm, arm, shoulder, back, and chest. The elbow and shoulder joints are used as well. Some sources may note the scapulathoracic joint's use as well, but this is not a true anatomic joint by definition.
a concentric muscle action.
The popular Bench Press method works, the Pectoral (Pecks) Muscles (Bottom and top), as well as the Shoulder and the third Triceps Muscle.
A bench press without the use of a bench press shirt.
The bench press primarily works the pectorals (major/minor), but secondarily develops the triceps brachii (extends elbow), the anterior deltoid (flexes shoulder), and the coracobrachialis (assists shoulder flexion). More emphasis can be placed on secondary musculature by varying body angle and grip.
This bench is not designed for the bench press there is no bar to ssuppot the weights for bench press.
Yes of course you can, Avoid bench pressing and heavy shoulder press excercises. Advice from my consultant.
