An arched back is fine as long as your ass is on the bench. I arch my back when I bench as do a ton of powerlifters. But the key is keeping your ass on the bench. In competition, if your ass leaves the bench, the lift is no good. In the gym, do whatever the fuck you want I guess.
:yeahthat:
Like I said earlier, these guys were not just "arching" their backs, which is normal. No, these guys had their asses nearly a foot off the bench. By all the comments, seems like that's okay these days?
