The methodology of improving the effectiveness of the competitive exercise “bench press” using special preparatory exercises

this article reveals the importance of using special preparatory exercises (hereinafter referred to as SPS) in the training process of the basic stage of training powerlifters to improve performance in the competitive exercise "bench press". The authors have developed a 4-week microcycle technique in which the number of barbell lifts (hereinafter referred to as NBL) and the total intensity (hereinafter referred to as TI) are calculated both competitive and special preparatory exercises. The purpose of the study is to develop a training process methodology with the inclusion of special preparatory exercises in a 4–week mesocycle at the basic stage of training powerlifters with the first sports category (hereinafter I category) and candidate for Master of Sports (hereinafter CMS). The hypothesis of the study is that the authors assume that the use of special preparatory exercises in the basic stage of the athletes' training process will improve the athletic performance of the bench press. The research methods are pedagogical observations, pedagogical experiment, statistical processing of research materials. The object of the study is the training process of the basic stage of training of CMS and 1st class powerlifters. The subject of the research is the methodology developed by the authors to improve the effectiveness of a competitive exercise, the bench press. The study defines the following tasks: improving the training process methodology with the help of special preparatory exercises to improve the performance of powerlifters; to substantiate and verify, using methods of observation, comparison and experiment, the effectiveness of the application and inclusion of the developed methodology in the training plan of athletes to improve competitive performance.
