The bench press, an effective exercise for both, men and women. This article addresses both: Doing flys, anterior deltoid raises or triceps extensions before classic barbell bench presses to pre-exhaust the synergists and increase the pectoralis muscle activity during the final press, as well as the differential effect of doing bench presses on the flat bench with dumbbells, barbells and/or the smith machine on the pectoralis, anterior deltoid and triceps activity during the bench press and its consequences on triceps activity during a subsequent cable-pulley triceps extension.

Andreo Fernando Aguiar and his colleagues from the North University of Paraná (UNOPAR) and the Londrina State University (UEL) in Brazil obviously knew this, when they came up with the simple, yet effective design for their latest 8-week study.
