It works several upper body muscles at once, namely, from most to least important; 1) The pectoral muscles 2) The front deltoids 3) The triceps 4) Finally the latissimus muscles of the back, work as stabilizers; that is they are not involved in the exerting and moving of the weight, but they are important in holding the weight steady, that is why when you do burnout sets with bench presses, your back will hurt a little bit if you haven't done back exercises yet. Then of course is the fact that your back is being crushed by a lot of weight, in addition to it working as stabilizer muscles. Because there are so many muscle groups working together at once, it is a good measure of upper body strength, and it is a good, simple way to gauge overall progress with upper body strength gains.
