The “a while” part is key: Don’t make this change for just one bench press session. Test your max bench, then make a change like this for four to eight weeks, Ellis says. At the end of the ...
One journal article has been written on the topic of Wilks formula validation. [2] Based on the men's and women's world record holders and the top two performers for each event in the IPF's 1996 and 1997 World Championships (a total of 30 men and 27 women for each lift), it concluded:
The bench press or chest press is a weight training exercise where a person presses a weight upwards while lying horizontally on a weight training bench. The bench press is a compound movement , with the primary muscles involved being the pectoralis major , the anterior deltoids , and the triceps brachii .
The test subject repeatedly steps onto and off of a platform every two seconds. [2] The height of the platform is 20 inches or 51 centimetres for men and 16 inches or 41 centimetres for women. The rate of 30 steps per minute must be sustained for five minutes or until exhaustion. To ensure the right speed, a metronome is used.
Exercises for the same muscle group (flat bench press followed by the incline bench press) result in a significantly lower training volume than a traditional exercise format with rests. [30] However, agonist–antagonist supersets result in a significantly higher training volume when compared to a traditional exercise format. [31]
The women's equipped bench press record belongs to Ashleigh Hoeta, from New Zealand, who lifted 317.5 kg (700 lb) (2023, IPL standards), [4] [5] and the raw bench press record belongs to April Mathis from the United States, who lifted 207.5 kg (457.4 lb) (2016, Southern Powerlifting Federation standards).

A norm in chess is a high level of performance in a chess tournament. [1] The level of performance is typically measured in tournament performance rating above a certain threshold (for instance, 2600 for GM norm), and there is a requirement on the level of tournament, for instance by a prescribed minimal number of participants of given title/level one meets.
Compared to a formal 1RM test, the submaximal estimation method is safer and quicker. [13] The estimate may not be accurate, but can be used as the starting point for a 1RM test. The formulas can also be used the other way, to calculate what weight is needed for a given repetition maximum, as a percent of the estimated or actual 1RM.
