There's a guy that comes in every Saturday and does the same bench thing every week. He goes about 165# tops. Loads up the bar with anywhere from 315# to 385# - I think he's even gone 405#.
He straps on this sling shot thing, unracks it with a spotter, has someone else hold an 8 inch board on his chest, and proceeds to arch his back up and down never actually moving the weight. I don't know why, but it bugs the crap out of me.

Sling shot thingy

Note: That is not the guy

This is actual a legal ( by competion stardard) technique- As long as the glutes remain in contact w/ the bench an arched ( even severely) back is legal AS LONG AS the glutes remain in contact w/ bench. On the side view the glutes do indeed touch the bench during the entire lift.
Remember this is a competition and the goal is to create the shortest distance b/t lockout (notice her ultra wide grip) & the chest.

* ( On side view)-Notice that even after lift off ( but before the descent of the bar) she lowers her glutes to touch the bench.

* Also this is a 1RM, thats it! Not a 5 or 10 rep set like the tool in the first vid.

*granted this girl has hyper flexibility and most could never pull it off.

* with that being said I would never coach a non-competitor to use this technique
