In male wrestlers who train with weights, the total amount of work performed during bench presses correlates with how much power they generate and how many reps they complete, suggesting that total...

Among trained male wrestlers, taking 3 minutes of rest between bench press sets leads to greater mechanical output—such as more repetitions, higher power, and increased total work—in the later sets compared to taking only 1 minute of rest.

Among trained male wrestlers performing bench presses, performance metrics such as the number of repetitions, total work done, and movement speed drop significantly starting at the third set, whether they rest for 1 minute or 3 minutes between sets.

For trained wrestlers doing bench presses, taking 3 minutes of rest between sets leads to greater mechanical output—such as more repetitions, higher power, and increased total work—in the later sets compared to taking only 1 minute of rest.

When performing bench presses with 3-minute breaks between sets, people complete more total work than with 1-minute breaks, and this total work increases with more repetitions and faster movement speed, making it a reliable measure of training volume when speed is kept consistent.

For trained male wrestlers doing bench presses with a heavy weight, resting for 3 minutes between sets helps maintain performance metrics like the number of reps, speed, and power output better than resting for only 1 minute during the last three sets.
