Official Title: Acute Comparison of High-Load Variable-Resistance and Free-Weight Bench Pulls: A Randomized Crossover Study of Exercise Responses and Residual Effects

Brief Summary: This study used a randomized, counterbalanced crossover design to compare high-load chain-based variable-resistance (VR) and free-weight (FW) bench pulls. Resistance-trained men completed two experimental sessions separated by 72 hours, with the order of the VR and FW conditions randomized.Before each experimental condition, participants completed a standardized general and bench pull-specific warm-up followed by a 10-minute rest period. In each session, participants performed one set of three bench pull…
