The bench press is a weight training exercise. In powerlifting, the bench press is one of the 3 main movements. It consists of lying on your back on a flat bench with your head, shoulders and butts in contact with the surface of the bench, and your feet flat on the floor. The arms are in an extended position and hold a loaded bar vertically. After the starting signal of a judge, the movement is executed by flexing the upper limbs to bring the loaded bar into contact with the chest. Again, at the signal of a referee, the athlete will have to extend the upper limbs to return to the starting position (i.e.<\/abbr><\/em>, arms locked in an extended position).

In a previous article, we explained how a bench shirt allows a better performance and a greater speed during the concentric phase in bench press compared to a movement without shirt (Click to read this article<\/a>).If the mechanical characteristics of the shirt play a major role in the enhancement of the performance, it is interesting to know what is the impact of the shirt on bar trajectory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To know more about that, in 2009, a team of American researchers studied the trajectory in the sagittal plane of the bar during the bench press in two conditions: without and with bench shirt.<\/p>\n\n\n
