@Chris Affrunti thanks for clarifying this Chris as I always get these two concepts mixed up!

Our bodies use oxygen to restore ATP and PCr when it has been used up. In this case, the max effort exercise lasting 8 seconds used a significant amount of ATP. Therefore, the oxidative system will be the main contributor during the rest period.

During the bench press, the pectoralis major is the main agonist muscle. Therefore, during the eccentric (i.e., lowering) phase of the bench press, this muscle would be stretching and mainly responsible for the controlled movement of the barbell towards the chest!

The answer is B because we want the least fatiguing tests first!
