Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

Total Bench Press Repetitions
Total number of repetitions completed across two bench press performance sets performed at 75% of one-repetition maximum (1RM) to technical failure. Total repetitions were calculated as set 1 repetitions + set 2 repetitions.
Immediately post-intervention, during the subsequent two bench press performance sets (approximately 10 minutes).

Study Arms (2)

Control Then PAPE

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants completed the control condition first and the PAPE condition second, with at least 72 hours between sessions.

Other: Control Bench Press ProtocolOther: Heavy Single-Repetition PAPE Protocol

PAPE Then Control

EXPERIMENTAL

Other: Control Bench Press ProtocolOther: Heavy Single-Repetition PAPE Protocol

Interventions

Control Bench Press ProtocolOther

Participants performed 8 bench press repetitions at 60% of one-repetition maximum (1RM), followed by 4 minutes of passive rest. They then completed two bench press sets at 75% 1RM to technical failure, with 3 minutes of passive rest between sets.

Control Then PAPEPAPE Then Control

Heavy Single-Repetition PAPE ProtocolOther

Participants performed 8 bench press repetitions at 60% 1RM, followed by 2 minutes of passive rest, one bench press repetition at 90% 1RM, and a further 2 minutes of passive rest. They then completed two bench press sets at 75% 1RM to technical failure, with 3 minutes of passive rest between sets.
