bench set up ?

Iron Warrior · Jul 10, 2004

I really have trouble getting a good arch when I'm benching with my titan fury, just wondering if you guys had any suggestions.

to deepen ure arch go get a boat side bumper and put it under ure back while u watch tv and stuff

as for while on the bench, go get spray tac at ure local athletic store and spray ure traps heavily with it, be sure to shave first tho, lol

I have been using 4 inch pvc pipe under my back while benching, but when I bench without it my back straighten out flat. I have a good arch while benching raw, It's just that I can't get a good arch with the shirt

If you can bench with a 4 inch piece of PVC pipe under your back, god bless you. I benched once with a 2 1/2 inch piece of PVC and my back was fucked up for days! It is very hard for anyone who squats and deadlifts heavy to really get a great arch. You are on the right track with the PVC pipe! Good luck!

but with the shirt on i can't get am arch at all. what is the best way to get an arch while at a meet. the shirt just seems to pull me out flat.

Just make sure that once you get your shirt to where you want it and you are going to put a belt on to keep the shirt in place, make sure before you tighten the belt that you throw your shoulders back like you are arching then tighten the belt. That will help because if you tighten the belt and don't arch before you tighten the belt, there is no way you will be able to get in your arch! Make sense? Try it!
