Abstract

The primary objective of the study was to compare the muscle electrical activity during Benchpress for the different muscle groups. The amount of contribution of each mentioned muscle duringbench press was also analyzed.For the purpose of the present investigation, total of 10 male power lifterswere chosen as the sample forthe study.The analysis showed that there is a significant difference in the muscle electrical activity during Benchpress for the different muscle groups. The results pertaining to EMG data of 1RM bench pressrevealed maximum muscle electrical activity in case of Pectoralis Major. Hence the Pectoralis Majordisplayed better muscle electrical activity than the Anterior deltoid and Triceps
