“…In addition, it is well known that the 1RM corresponds to the highest load that can be lifted for the whole concentric phase and therefore depends on the strength developed in the weakest position. In the bench press this position, also called the "sticking region," occurs at approximately 10 to 15 cm above the chest (9,20). The assessment of velocity or acceleration at that position may be interesting because the bar should be close to zero when a subject reaches his or her 1RM.…”

Jidovtseff, B, Harris, NK, Crielaard, J-M, and Cronin, JB. Using the load-velocity relationship for 1 RM prediction. J Strength Cond Res 24(x): 000-000, 2009-The purpose of this study was to investigate the ability of the load-velocity relationship to accurately predict a bench press 1 repetition maximum (1 RM). Data from 3 different bench press studies (n = 112) that incorporated both 1 RM assessment and submaximal load-velocity profiling were analyzed. Individual regression analysis was performed to determine the theoretical load at zero velocity (LD0). Data from each of the 3 studies were analyzed separately and also presented as overall group mean. Thereafter, correlation analysis provided quantification of the relationships between 1 RM and LD0. Practically perfect correlations (r = ~0.95) were observed in our samples, confirming the ability of the loadvelocity profile to accurately predict bench press 1 RM.

“…Elle s'effectue sur le matériel utilisé à l'entraînement, ce qui lui confère une grande spécificité. Cependant, la charge maximale représente en réalité le niveau de force maximum qui peut être développée dans la partie la plus défavorable du mouvement concentrique [9,39]. Une autre limite réside dans l'information fournie : si la performance représente le niveau de force maximale de l'individu, elle n'illustre en rien la puissance, ni la vitesse.…”

RésuméObjectifs -établir un état des lieux de l'évaluation musculaire inertielle Actualités -l'évaluation inertielle peut se réaliser avec un simple matériel de musculation. L'approche dynamométrique, plus précise, connaît un intérêt croissant dans le milieu sportif. En évaluant la performance musculaire au moyen de charges sous-maximales, elle permet d'établir des profils charge-vitessepuissance, d'étudier la fatigabilité musculaire ou encore d'analyser la cinétique des mouvements. Une rigueur méthodologique apparaît indispensable afin de garantir la fiabilité et la reproductibilité des résultats. Conclusion -The inertial dynamometric assessment appears like an accessible method which may revolutionize field muscular assessment. Perspectives et projets

“…Hand position on the bar should be as wide as comfortable for maximum power production. 17 The lifter should have his thumbs in the opposed position ("club grip") ( Fig. 7.4) to prevent the bar from rolling out of his hands and falling on his chest.The bar is then slowly and smoothly lowered to the chest and "paused" until it is no longer moving, prior to lifting it back to its starting position.The path of the bar during descent should take a gentle arc, with the concavity toward the head, and during ascent the path should be similar, with the concavity toward the feet.…”
