Bench Press Beep Test

The Bench Press Beep Test is a comprehensive assessment of upper body muscular strength endurance. This test requires participants to perform as many repetitions as possible at a set weight and cadence. While the NHL pre-draft testing combine used a similar protocol in the past, they have since adopted a different approach. It is important to note that there are other variations of the bench press test, including one without cadence and one specifically for NHL push-ups.

Purpose

The purpose of the Bench Press Beep Test is to measure the maximum strength endurance of the chest muscle groups.

4. Push the bar up to full extension of the arms, performing the bench press actions in time with the metronome.
5. Record the number of consecutive repetitions completed before falling behind the cadence.
