The pectoralis major is the muscle that is used when controlling the bar going down during a bench press.
If done correctly, bench dips only work the tricep muscles. but ifmyou dont do it correctelly you will hurt your self and you might even pull your musclesxx lolIf done correctly, bench dips only work the tricep muscles.
Chest, triceps, back, shoulders
If you are referring to the dumbbell bench press, which works both arms independently, then the muscles being worked are mainly the pectoral and tricep muscles. Other muscles that are indirectly involved are the shoulder (deltoids and trapezius) and the lats (latissimus dorsi).
The following muscles are used: Chest (upper chest specifically) Triceps Shoulders
The muscles that are affected by this work out are mainly your pectorals and deltoids, but also to a less degree, forearms and triceps. This exercise also helps with your latimus dorsi (lats). There are also back muscles involved that will be strengthened.
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.
you've got to do it the old fashion way keep stretching your shoulders back while pulling in with an rubber rope to gain more power of yourself and built your upper chest to where the women like it.
if you mean bench press, then that is deltoids, triceps, and pectorals (or chest)
It works out your triceps and mid chest the wider your grip the more your working out your chest and the narrower the more it works out triceps.
Pectorals
Flys work the pectoral muscles of the chest. Usually they are done on a flat bench or an incline bench.
