the arch is part of the sport of powerlifting, so get over it.
the board is tech. to improve the bench, like someone posted before some of you shirt or not could not even un-rack it.
it is not the same as sythnol in BB, because there is a separate division for geared lifters, there is not a separate sythnol BB division as of yet.
the squat was cool but it did not make depth, but again i probably could not walk out a rack with that weight.
