Exercise analysis - assistance required

[goian]

Hi there! I have recently commenced a course here in Australia to become a Personal Trainer and was wondering whether anyone may be able to point me in the right direction for some assistance with an assessment I have to do. I have been given a list of several resistance exercises (e.g. bench press) and need to outline the following in relation to the particular exercise:
Muscles involved, prime moving muscles, assisting muscles, joints involved, movement at each joint, origin of prime movers, insertion of prime movers, types of contractions, variations.
Is there anywhere available on the web that I can refer to that would have most of this information readily available, or is it just a matter of me doing the hard yards and putting all of the pieces together one by one.
Many thanks for any feedback I can get.
Ian

Thanks Billy, that's a great site with some good information. I'm still open to any other suggestions if anyone else has any!

You're half way through your Cert IV huh? ;)

It's piss easy that exam. Just follow your notes from class, and do some google searches and get results like the link above, and just fill in the gaps.

Your teacher will tell you everything that's in the exam anyway. Just nail that into your head.

One thing i can say though, is make sure you remember what flexion and extension is. Often the concentric phase is flexion of a joint, rather than extension. Extension is eccentric.

You should be fine though. Girls who have no experience with weights have more trouble with that exam than the weightlifting boys who understand the terms etc.

Thanks! I'm actually only up to the 3rd module in the Cert III course. As I'm doing the course online through Fitlink Australia, I have had absolutely no contact with teachers or lecturers apart from a generic email saying that I've passed a particular assessment. Whilst I can find a lot of my information for this particular assessment on the internet, I posted my original query in hope that someone might know of somewhere that would have all the information in one handy spot. It just means I will have to find out the hard way, but that's probably better as I'll learn more as I do it! Regards, Ian.
