What muscles are the stablilizing muscles during a flat bench press?

kvyd · 07-11-2004, 03:14 PM

Anterior Deltoid, Tricep, and short head of bicep

Yea black, lats help to get the weight up when it is really low, like coming up from the lowest part.

Lats... what was I thinking.

biceps brachii
coracobrachiallis
towards the top you get some internal rotation as well....latisimus dorsi, teres major, subscapularis, anterior delt (really a prime mover along with pectorallis major).

So when you are benching do these muscles get worked out or are they just getting a minimal workout?

**P-funk** · 07-11-2004, 08:22 PM

they are defenitly getting worked out. Not like say rowing hits your lats....but they need to be working synergistically to move the weight.

Did that make sense?? I think I worded that strangely...lol

blackcr125 · 07-11-2004, 08:31 PM

I think I got what you were saying. They're definitly getting worked out, but not worked out as much as a isolation exercise would?

**P-funk** · 07-11-2004, 08:36 PM

Or not as much as if it were an exercise were the given muscle is a prime mover....for example, a rowing movement or a pull down your lats are the prime mover so they are recruited to a greater extent than if you are doing a bench press.

Your delts, triceps & lats.

Strong shoulders & triceps are important, & doing lots of barbell & other types of rows for your lats are very important for strong chest pressing.
