Load Changes Bench Press Muscle Activation

What’s your best bench? It’s a question often asked in the weight room, and an ongoing goal pursued by many. An interesting study published in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research shows how muscle activation patterns can change when lifting close to your one rep max (1RM).
 

Twenty healthy men with a least a year of weight training experience performed single reps with the load increasing from 70% of 1RM, to 80%, 90% and finally 100% of 1RM. At the heaviest load, the pectoralis major becomes a supportive prime mover with the deltoideus anterior taking over as prime mover. The triceps brachii also show greater involvement at 100% of 1RM.

    Hello Web Admin, I noticed that your On-Page SEO is is missing a few factors, for one you do not use all three H tags in your post, also I notice that you are not using bold or italics properly in your SEO optimization. On-Page SEO means more now than ever since the new Google update: Panda. No longer are backlinks and simply pinging or sending out a RSS feed the key to getting Google PageRank or Alexa Rankings, You now NEED On-Page SEO. So what is good On-Page SEO?First your keyword must appear in the title.Then it must appear in the URL.You have to optimize your keyword and make sure that it has a nice keyword density of 3-5% in your article with relevant LSI (Latent Semantic Indexing). Then you should spread all H1,H2,H3 tags in your article.Your Keyword should appear in your first paragraph and in the last sentence of the page. You should have relevant usage of Bold and italics of your keyword.There should be one internal link to a page on your blog and you should have one image with an alt tag that has your keyword….wait there’s even more Now what if i told you there was a simple WordPress plugin that does all the On-Page SEO, and automatically for you? That’s right AUTOMATICALLY, just watch this 4minute video for more information at. Seo Plugin
