Best Answer

Synergists muscles in a bench press are triceps and anterior deltoids. When performing a bench press if an athlete wants to make sure that most of the load will be distributed on his/hers pectoralis major (chest muscles) make sure to contract those muscles before the actual push...otherwise synergists will do big part of the work.

Is bench press bad for baseball players?

Standard bench press is not necessarily bad for baseball players, however, it is not the smartest exercise. Baseball requires long, lean muscles whereas the standard bench press builds small, tight muscles. The best form of bench press for baseball players is dumbell bench press because it requires the utilization of the stabilizer muscles in both arms and, therefore, strengthens the forearms, biceps, and triceps while maintaining long, lean muscles.
