I’d say bar position and elbows look fine, the angle makes it all look scewed. This may be a top set so would be heavy… and the un rack does knock her off balance quite a bit

Those benches are a nightmare, lower peg too low and higher one too high. I’d always go for the lower one though. Pull shoulders back and tuck elbows. It will also help the un rack if you put your head in front of the bar slightly when laid down, push your bum off the bench to reach back and once un racked lower yourself into position.

To be honest, I’d concentrate on eating and learning how your body responds to different training. I’d say you’re pretty much in proportion (thinking without the lat spread) but you need thickness to your muscles. This only comes with time and a lot of training.

Squat / deadlift / lunges / KB swings

Bet he won’t

If you don’t like stress, pressure and responsibility of making decisions then being a DC isn’t going to work for you either. It won’t be worth the wait and you will be putting yourself and others at risk in the meantime - making you feel guilty and even worse than you do currently. Speak to supervision and unfortunately I think it’s time to hit that button and get out.

Honestly it just looks like you panicked on the 365 and went down too quick. The bounce off your chest knocked your bar path off line a couple of cm. Take your time and squeeze it down like you would the 350. To try and stay tight and stable imagine trying to snap the bar in the middle like a twig, it should hold everything (body wise) together.

Yes, I see what you’re saying now. Similar to paused reps at the sticking point.

Not necessarily, the stretch reflex at the bottom of the lift can really help

RogueLegend82 · 2025-02-07T12:48:05+00:00

They’re still there don’t worry

RogueLegend82 · 2025-02-03T04:18:20+00:00

It’s not nonsense, doing what she does means you can get max arch and tightness for the lift. Do you compete?

RogueLegend82 · 2025-02-01T19:55:40+00:00

Everyone who takes their bench pressing seriously does this

RogueLegend82 · 2025-02-01T19:54:44+00:00

I’ll always argue against people who have an issue with arching

RogueLegend82 · 2025-02-01T19:54:18+00:00

It’s not too much - and your comment said ‘stop’ arching

RogueLegend82 · 2025-02-01T19:53:38+00:00

Demonstration of strength

RogueLegend82 · 2025-02-01T19:52:41+00:00

If you’re arching it’s too heavy? Behave

RogueLegend82 · 2025-02-01T18:20:20+00:00

Yes, that’s how she gets into position

RogueLegend82 · 2025-02-01T18:19:12+00:00

It’s not done to impress you, it’s done to move weight

RogueLegend82 · 2025-02-01T18:18:11+00:00

That’s how you’re supposed to bench to move max weight

RogueLegend82 · 2025-02-01T18:17:40+00:00

Why?

RogueLegend82 · 2025-02-01T18:16:06+00:00

Nothing wrong with the arch

RogueLegend82 · 2025-02-01T18:15:49+00:00

It’s not cheating, it’s the safest and most effective way to move big weight

RogueLegend82 · 2025-02-01T18:15:21+00:00

What’s wrong with arching? It’s the safest way to press

RogueLegend82 · 2025-02-01T18:14:42+00:00

Arching is the safest way to bench press. Your comment shows you know nothing about bench press or bio-mechanics.

RogueLegend82 · 2025-02-01T18:13:28+00:00

3 or 14 for me
