Bench Press
Curls and bench presses are weight training moves. Curls use free weights and bench press involves a weight bar with weights on it and a bench to lie down on.
The SAID principle applied to weight training is the base if training needs to be specific to the sport or area in which you are training for. If you want to bench press more weight, you have to train on the bench press. It is relative to the sport or activity you are training for. A runner needs to train the specific lower body areas to become a better runner.
