bench form
Yes Base I ALWAYS roll and pinch my shoulders back and pop out my chest and try to focus on my chest as I press.. Ive tried different grip widths as well as positions for my elbows during the exercise. Consensus is that elbows should not be flared straight out but more like 45 degrees which is what Ive been doing. No idea what it is but declines DUMBELLS do feel the best so Im gonna start doing those although they are a pain in the ass to do as far as get dumbbells up initially lol.. And a lot of people also say that you can't target upper or lower chest and that it is one muscle that can only be built overall and that you can't bring up your upper chest with inclines that its all myth. If thats true then the best bet is to just go with the declines and build up the overall chest that way. I know some people still believe that inclines build upper and declines lower etc but I even saw a youtube video with dorian yates explaining this with more detail and maybe others can chime in and give an opinion.
