Final answer:

Aerobic respiration provided the energy support during Ryan's bench-press set.


Explanation:

Aerobic respiration is the cellular process that was being utilized to support the energy needs of Ryan's muscles during the bench-press set.

In aerobic respiration, glucose and oxygen react to form carbon dioxide, water, and ATP energy.

Additionally, muscles store myoglobin, which helps in efficient muscle contractions and less fatigue during aerobic activities.
