Interventions

Bench press: Exercise performed with participant lying supine with hands in prone position. Barbell is lowered vertically from fully extended elbow position to sternum, then returned to starting position. Barbell will be weighted with plates dependent on their strength and workout demands. Deadlift: Consists of gripping bar while in a squat position. Extension of ankles, knees, and hips while gripping the bar brings the weight up until joints are locked completing the exercise concentric portion. The eccentric lowering of the weight follows and consists of flexion of joints. Seated overhead press machine: This multi-joint exercise, deltoid and trapezius are the prime movers and triceps are secondary movers, with hands on the grips and a position allowing back and buttocks to be completely supported. They push against a load vertically until glenohumeral joint fully extends, then load is returned to starting position and process continues until all repetitions desired are achieved
