  2. One-repetition maximum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-repetition_maximum

    One repetition maximum can also be used as an upper limit, in order to determine the desired "load" for an exercise (as a percentage of the 1RM). Weight training protocols often use 1RM when programming to ensure the exerciser reaches resistance overload, especially when the exercise objective is muscular strength, endurance or hypertrophy.

  3. Strength training - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strength_training

    For 1RM trials, an exercise rehearsal has significant benefits. For submaximal strength training (3 sets of 80% of 1RM to failure), exercise rehearsal does not provide any benefits regarding fatigue or total repetitions for exercises such as bench press, squats, and arm curl, compared to no warm-up.

  4. Training to failure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Training_to_failure

    When the athlete has reached initial failure (i.e. fails to perform a further repetition), rather than ending the current set, the exercise can be continued by making the exercise easier (switching to another similar exercise e.g. pull-ups to chin-ups, switching to another (correct) form of the same exercise, switching to lower weight) or by recruiting help (from a spotting partner or by ...

  5. High-intensity training - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-intensity_training

    As strength improves with high-intensity training (HIT), the weight or resistance used in the exercises should be gradually increased over time. This progressive overload is believed to provide the muscles with enough stimulus to continue improving and growing. An inverse relationship exists between how intensely and how long one can exercise.

  6. Bench press - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bench_press

    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. Other muscles located in the back, legs ...

    In addition, Hutchins improved the resistance curves of the exercise equipment and reduced their friction to further enhance the loading effect upon the muscles. The effect of this approach was further improved by the practice of the exercises in an "ideal" environment wherein the temperature was cool, ventilation was provided, and distractions ...
