onemorerep, that's powerlifting form. get into the powerlifting board right here on getbig and read the bench setup thread. what i'm doing is absolutely correct.
I'm sorry, maybe I don't know much about powerlifting, but are you saying that in powerlifting you are supposed to arch your back the way you do in that video?
1P.S. Hedgy, chip in on this one, for as I thought that his form, with the back arched as high as he does, would seriously cause him to hurt his back or potentially snap some of his vertebrae..
P.S.S. Doesn't the arching of your back cause you to further reduce any true distance during the lift, thereby not allowing you to assess what your true strength is?
