I believe If you are a raw lifter your bench press should be an arc

Be grateful for all your responses before you go giving sarcasm. Go to supertraining.tv and watch some videos. Mark Bell knows a thing or two about benching.

How about you do some fucking research and experiment before being a asshole when not every experienced lifter on the board doesn’t jump on such a uninteresting over talked about topic that is different for every one. Try and do shit for your self man

I push the bar in a figure-8 pattern. Try attaching glow sticks to each end for more fun!

I had always thought bench should be straight down to the lower part of your chest and straight back up unless you are the lifter who arches his back like a contortionist.
