The MET value of 5 for bench press is sourced from the Compendium of Physical Activities. The climate factor of 1.00 accounts for Louisville's average temperature of 57°F. Research shows that exercising in non-neutral temperatures increases energy expenditure as the body works to maintain its core temperature.
The bench press is the most popular upper body strength exercise, performed by pressing a barbell or dumbbells upward while lying on a flat bench. It primarily targets the pectorals (chest muscles) while engaging the anterior deltoids and triceps as synergists. The bench press builds pushing strength that translates to many daily activities and sports. While the calorie burn per rep is moderate, the metabolic demand increases significantly with heavier loads and higher volume sets.
