Default Bench Arch
Don't know if this has been posted here yet but this is a prime example of somebody who would benefit with a little more arch..

amazing to me that with an arch like that he still manages to keep his butt on the bench, looks like a fag but it IS a legit lift.

Yep.

Its legal but its the only reason he can bench that much weight, cause he only has to move the bar a few inches. If he tried to flat bench that it would probably snap his twig arms and crush him.

ole boy must have some long arms cuz I've seen much smaller ROM on people with a lot smaller arches, he still moved it more than I thought he would have to. I guess this could be due to the fact that he has no belly.

That arch is just asking for trouble. His back has to hurt after that lift. There is no reason to arch the back like that. A small arch is good but that is way too much...overkill.

He does yoga and contortion and he has commented on other boards that it causes him no pain.
