The bench press is a compound movement, with the primary muscles involved being the pectoralis major, the anterior deltoids, and the triceps brachii. Other muscles located in the back, legs and core are involved for stabilization. A barbell is generally used to hold the weight, but a pair of dumbbells can also be used. [1]
The pullover is an exercise that is performed with either a dumbbell or a barbell. [1] Pullovers can be made to affect either the chest or the back depending on how wide the grip is (barbell) and the position of the shoulders.

By the time Clark was 13, he was lifting 110 lb (50 kg) cement weights. [2] In 1986, Clark became the first teenager to bench press 600 lb (270 kg), and was notable for using a reverse grip on the bar. In 1992, he was the first lifter to bench press 700 lb (320 kg) using the reverse grip.
A bench shirt is a stiff supportive shirt, used to improve performance in the bench press, most often in powerlifting competitions. Bench shirts are usually made of polyester, denim, or canvas and come in single- or multi-ply thicknesses. The extremely tight fit of a bench shirt supports the weightlifter's shoulders and deltoid muscles. [1]
Close grip dips primarily train the triceps, with major synergists being the anterior deltoid, the pectoralis muscles, and the rhomboid muscles of the back. [1] Wide shoulder width dips place additional emphasis on the pectoral muscles , similar in respect to the way a wide grip bench press would focus more on the pectorals and less on the triceps.
