A helpful tip: When choosing your grass seed look for the germination rate on the label. This is the percentage of seeds that germinated in lab tests. The higher the better. A rating of 90-95% is ideal.
The bench press is a compound push exercise that activates a number of upper-body muscle groups. These groups include the pectorals, deltoids, triceps, biceps, trapezius and core muscles. You can shift the emphasis of the press to specific muscle groups in that span by widening or narrowing your grip on the bar, by replacing a barbell with dumbbells, or by performing the press on an inclined or declined bench.
Share This! The three most common ways of doing a bench press are with a barbell, dumbbells, or Smith machine. Norwegian researchers, using a technique called electromyography, found that muscle activation differed during the three types of bench presses. For the triceps muscle, activation levels were greatest for the barbell, followed by the Smith machine and dumbbells.
