Discharge by bench press: how to get and what they are

Watching the training of athletes involved in powerlifting, we can conclude that this sport is very different from all the others. In some ways this is so. In powerlifting, or, as it is also called, power triathlon, athletes do not contact each other. The essence of the competition is that the athlete must raise the maximum weight in a single repetition.

The bench press competition

The bench press is assigned to athletes when performing an exercise with different types of equipment or lack of it. Holding competitions for this species can sometimes take place as a separate event.

However, most often the bench press is included in power triathlon, that is, in powerlifting. In addition to this, two more exercises are performed in this sport: deadlift and squats with a barbell.

In order to get a bench press, it does not have to be a professional or participate in the biggest competitions. You can get it in your gym, if there are authorized persons from a sports organization that has the right to issue documents indicating the surrender of the standard.

Ramps on the bench press

As in any other sport, in order to obtain a qualification category, it is necessary to fulfill certain conditions. The bench press is issued to athletes who perform one repetition with the correct technique and the right weight. The standards are in powerlifting, and they begin with the second youth. In this sport there are three main qualification categories. These are standard CCMs, MS and MSMK. Naturally, the higher the level of the bench press, the more weight you have to lift the athlete.

In order to get, say, CCM, the athlete will have to perform an exercise with a barbell weighing 97.5 kg with a body weight of 52 kg. The more the athlete weighs, the heavier will be his projectile.

Bench press without equipment

On the territory of the Russian Federation there are several organizations that hold their own, separate competitions for such a power sport as bench press. The official offshoot of the international organization for powerlifting (IPF), in Russia is the Federation of Powerlifting Federation of Russia. In addition to it, there are a few more, such as WPO / WPC. A notable difference between these organizations is that they hold their bench press competitions without prior doping control. However, this does not affect the required results in any way. In order to get a bench press without equipment, for example, CCM, it is necessary to perform the exercise all with the same projectile at 97.5 kg with the same body weight of 52 kg.

AWPC capacity readings

Getting a qualification for this exercise can take place in combination with two more. If the bench press is supplemented with deadlift and squat with the bar, then a full powerlifting competition will be obtained. The method of carrying out such competitions is as follows: three approaches are performed with one repetition in each of them. Three attempts are given to the athlete in order to give him the opportunity to cope with a large weight, according to which and will be assigned to the category AWPC (bench press).

Exercise in this federation has lower criteria for obtaining a qualification category, for example, a candidate for master of sports. Thus, at 52 kg, it is necessary to perform an exercise only with a shell of 82.5 kg, and not 97.5 kg, as required in other organizations.

It is also worth noting that both men and women can take part in these competitions. In the female half, of course, their standards for obtaining a discharge. To receive the title of KMS, for example, an athlete weighing 52 kg should perform an exercise with a shell at 82.5 kg. Women's competitions are separate from men's. By the way, every federation has its own requirements for doing bench press.
