Weightlifting is a dynamic strength and power sport in which two, multijoint, whole-body lifts
are performed in competition; the snatch and clean and jerk. During the performance of …

This study examined the possibility of using movement velocity as an indicator of relative
load in the bench press (BP) exercise. One hundred and twenty strength-trained males …

This study compared the velocity-and power-load relationships of the antagonistic upper-
body exercises of prone bench pull (PBP) and bench press (BP). 75 resistance-trained …

This study analyzed the contribution of the propulsive and braking phases among different
percentages of the one-repetition maximum (1RM) in the concentric bench press exercise …

Purpose To describe the acute and delayed time course of recovery following resistance
training (RT) protocols differing in the number of repetitions (R) performed in each set (S) out …

This study compared physical characteristics (body height, body mass [BM], body fat [BF],
and free fatty mass [FFM]), one repetition maximum bench-press (1RM BP), jumping …

The ability to optimise muscular power output is considered fundamental to successful
performance of many athletic and sporting activities. Consequently, a great deal of research …

The purpose of this study was to examine the efficacy of 11 wk of resistance training to
failure vs. nonfailure, followed by an identical 5-wk peaking period of maximal strength and …
