The arch is a safe way to lift and should be used in comp.
It how ever does improve the amount of weight lifted from flat bench
I'm just saying the 2 DIFFERENT lifts are not comparable flat and arch thats all now. (not cheating)
From what I've read most should at least agree with that.
These statements agree with the one above.
Excalibur-
"It would be like making baseball players use horrible bats because good ones will make them hit farther. "
brudman-
"As far as muscle strength goes, the guy who improves his leverages still moves more weight with his muscles. He just isn't limiting himself to his pecs, delts, and triceps."
KelvinSwole-
"Powerlifting is considered a strength sport. But, strength is NOT the only factor."
breathinglife-
"An arch gives lifters a mechanical advantage (shortening their ROM) that allows them to lift more without necessarily being stronger."
In comp I will most likely lift pl style as I've been told good leg drive and arch should add some decent weight to my bench.

"Clit stimulation if your fingers are dry is not a good idea. The clit is more sensitive than the underside of a guy's penis, apparently.
Good rule of thumb: make sure you're fingers aren't dry before they go anywhere NEAR her clit/pussy.
Also, besides myself, maybe 2-3 of you have actually done anything like this before..."

instead of negging you, we should be allowed to hit you in the face...

yea...the arch allows u to put on more strength and is safer (in that ur "core" is more tight)
sounds like win-win?

Can we make this about deadlifting with long arms? It's not fair that I lock the bar out at the base of my pp.
