To Arch or not to Arch...
OKay; I never had a problem with a bit of arching; but now this is getting extremely ridiculous and yes it could be a movement in theory, yes it is legal as shoulder blades, back and butt are touching the bench, but come on it is extreme now. I dont even recognize the bench anymore

What kind of arch we talking? Like the way Marisa Inda benches?

Anything to get the maximum weight up, I guess. I’m more extreme the other way around, or just say most would think. I never try to challenge the weights. I make the weights challenge me. I used to love slow negatives and I still do but last couple-plus years, I’ve been doing slow both negative and positive reps with strict form as possible and using as much rom as possible. Been getting tremendous results ever since. Now what these kids do today...
Nevermind. |

Long torso guys that can extreme arch and have their chest three inches under the bar and the travel/ rom is just past lockout to lockout. Not a lift imo. Barely breaking the elbows and then going right back up, please.... not for me

Sometimes it's just ridiculous. Same as decline bench. Like you said Nate. No lift.

Not a deadlift..... another short ROM movement designed to break a plateau rather than being a lift....
