So i bought a weight bench to workout at home and I noticed by back curves a bit when I bench press. It doesn't curve much, but just enough to fit my hand in. When I use to train with a trainer he use to tell me to curve my back a bit, but I haven't done since working out by myself. So my question is, is it ok to curve my back a bit when bench pressing?

Arching your back puts more emphasis on your the lower part of your chest, so it usually allows you to put up more weight. I like to keep my feet up off the ground and and have my knees bent as if i were going to tuck them into my chest so it keeps me from arching my back.
