If I were not not have any arch in my lower back, my whole upper back would be hovering several inches above the bench . My natural lying down position has an arch where a hand can go underneath. unless you have pancake glutes I dont see how you can have no arch lying down with legs on the floor

I was just speaking from what I learned over the years from my coaches. I'm not here to try and argue with anyone I was just trying to offer helpful advice that other people seemed to appreciate. I hate when I post something positive and someone feels the need to come back super sideways for no reason. Here's some news for you, you're a person I've never met and probably won't ever meet in my life so your entire existence is insignificant to me.. so just imagine what your mere opinion means
I could understand if I was always on here starting shyt and getting out of line but I'm not. I never go out of my way to speak negatively to anyone first so I feel I should get the same respect in return.

How was my post negative? All I did was speak on the difference of opinion. All that leg and back shyt for bench is like using momentum to get a chin up.

He forgot to add some crucial info.. like inhale on the way down and exhale on the way up. And keeping your feet square and flat on the floor with a slight arch in your back. I was a powerlifter throughout high school and college. one of the top 10 females in the state
I never bother with the breathing stuff, because when I have tried I always forget to exhale up and inhale down, and end up strangling myself while benching.
I also do a slow negative (lowering the bar) to just below pecs until bar touches chest and normal speed when I push the bar up, full range of motion lock out arms at the top ,I was taught by a mr universe, he also tried to get me to do the breathing stuff, he gave up in the end. ..
At my gym we have competition level bodybuilders and powerlifters,it easier to see the difference in technique when they train.

Totally totally wrong
Plus the guy in the video is pretty wrong too
If you want to know how to bench, a very good video is here from Mark Bell:

You're wrong. Bench press is a upper-body exercise, using your legs and arching your back is cheating.

Please just shut up if you have no idea of what you're taking about.

Nice comeback. I could say the same but when I say it it actually means something. fukk outta here, you're the guy who cheats to push bigger weight.
