The article from MSN discusses a study that investigated the muscle activation during the bench press, specifically comparing the involvement of the pectoral muscles (pecs) versus the triceps. The study, published in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, used electromyography (EMG) to measure muscle activity. It found that while both muscles are engaged, the pectoral muscles are significantly more activated than the triceps during the bench press, particularly when the exercise is performed with a wider grip. This confirms the bench press as an effective exercise for targeting the chest muscles, although the triceps still play a supportive role. The findings suggest that for those looking to maximize chest development, incorporating variations like the wide-grip bench press could be beneficial.
