	2005/05/10, 06:35 AM Biceps are used for stabilization on the negative portion of the lift when you lower the weight.... however the power comes from chest, triceps, and shoulders....your lower back, hamstrings, and glutes also play a role while bench pressing if you choose to train specifically for benching more weight using powerlifting principles..... do a SEARCH ...this has been discussed quite a bit
