Table 1. Comparison of 1RM strength, concentric displacement and measured 1RM mean velocity of the three bench press variations analyzed: full ROM (BP
FULL), two-thirds (BP
2/3) and one-third (BP
1/3). Sticking region at 1RM load: Velocity and position of the first (V
max1) and second peak velocity (V
max2) and the minimum velocity (V
min) during the 1RM of the BP
FULL (n = 42).
