How do People Bench with No Arch?

I don’t understand how people can bench with no arch and just flat back. When I set up for the bench press and pull my scapula together and such and just lay on the bench, my back is already arched and it’s hard to keep it flat.
The only way I can keep my back completely flat while still having my scapula together is to put my feet up.

Do you guys find it more impressive with the bench not using as much leg drive. I see tons of big benches with guys looking like they use NO leg drive at all and I don’t understand it, how they can have their back look flat and feet with no set up.[/quote]

Sounds to me like you have tight hip flexors.
