The bench press is a compound exercise that is performed with a barbell or dumbells and weight bench. During this exercise, you lift the weight to and from the chest from a face-up position. Being that this is a compound exercise, it works multiple muscle groups at once.
Pectoral MusclesThe anatomical name for the chest muscles is the pectorals. The pectoralis major is the part of the chest that gets activated when you are pushing the bar straight up. The pectoralis minor gets recruited when your shoulders shrug forward. Of the two muscle parts, the main emphasis is placed on the pectoralis major.By changing the angle of your bench press to a declined or inclined position, you would place more emphasis on the lower chest and upper chest respectively

What muscles are eccentric and concentric when doing incline bench press?
The bench press has two phases: eccentric and concentric. The first phase, as you lower weight toward your chest, is called the eccentric, or muscle-lengthening motion. The second phase, as you raise the weight back up, is called the concentric, or muscle-shortening phase. It is during the concentric phase that you can feel your chest getting tight. Learning which muscles are used during the concentric phase of the bench press is beneficial for focusing your mind on the correct area and therefore improving your exercise technique.The primary concentric mover of the bench press is the pectoralis major, which you may better know as the chest. Depending on which version of the bench press you are doing, you will be recruiting a specific part of the muscle group. The regular bench press on a flat surface mainly works your middle pecs. The incline and decline versions mainly work your upper and lower pecs, respectively.

The lung and heart muscles function at their optimum to compensate the stress on these muscle groups...

How can a bench press assist band be used to improve strength and performance during weightlifting exercises?
A bench press assist band can be used to provide resistance during weightlifting exercises, helping to increase muscle engagement and strength. By adding resistance to the movement, the band can help improve muscle activation and performance, leading to enhanced strength gains over time.

Do some muscle cells pull when they contract and others push as relax?
No muscle cells push, it just depends which muscle is doing the pulling. In a common joint, one muscle is used to pull the body part one way, and a different one is used to pull it back.
