On a side note, I wasn't thinking about benching while watching the first clip. Hey yo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He owns the M4 masters WR. 555 or 565. Only started lifting a few years ago. Pretty crazy.

Would have to be all or nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say if you can put more than a fist between the bench and your back it's excessive arching, but know idea how to put that into a rule that is easily judged.

king crusher Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 You could have some sort of device, one for men and one for women that you put on the bench and if weight is taken off it buzzes lol. So if the arch is too big it will buzz. Or just inact feet up benching, not gonna have a arch benching with feet in the air. Plus you work your stability, more athleticism needed.

Why not let everybody do an incline bench press instead of flat? Than the whole ROM issue will be solved too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a bad idea! But plenty of people stop short of the chest on incline, more so than flat even. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good idea that should have been implemented already from the start. They added a bench because people were cheating when they did standing press. Or just standing up with a back support that stops you from cheating would be good too. In that case bench press would not exist in in PL. So this will never happen. I don't think they will go back to standing press. I personally very much prefer they would but of course I'm not naive to think they will remove bench press. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
