      I personally believe that benching is the least impressive lift out there. Now that being said, I do bench every week but due to shoulder issues I have to bench with a narrow grip (shoulder width).
      It is good to have an end to journey toward; but it is the journey that matters, in the end.

      I agree with that as bench is not the most athletic lift and does not focus on a large muscle group

      Always lift with the shoulder tuck, saw it in one of my dads old west side barbell VHS tapes on bench pressing, and I totally agree with flathead i personally anticipate my flat bb bench press workouts, has been and still is my favorite lift

      These methods listed by "flathead" are the foundation on a good bench. A few months back I started my power lifting journey where my technique was picked apart by coaches, no arch and just raw strength. Since then the techniques listed above by FH have been reinforced the one thing I would add would be to keep a 2 second pause at the bottom and explode on the press upward bound.

      Good info about arching your upper back as opposed to your lower back. i see guys getting twisted very bad when they have a huge arch and their butt comes off of the bench.

      Never really had any issues with my bench, I got right shoulder pain in early days but paid more attention to how I was benching compared to my left side and no dramas ever since.
