You made arching your back look so cool and sexy… then you repped 135 10x… I don’t think I can compete with that…

Seriously awesome - seriously.
The juxtapostion of your sick arch in front of the guy lifting in his polo shirt was priceless.
Nice arch there girl ! That setup, oh to be young and flexible…
Coach hat on…review the angle of your arms, elbows to wrist on the video…you are at a slight angle backwards…best position for power and safety, straight up and down from elbow to wrist and try not to bend those wrist backwards, bar should rest in hands, bottom of palm near thumbs, not mid palm (if that makes sense). Shortest distance is straight down and straight up.
135 x 10, yes your bench is really taking off
lil, any tips for not bending your wrists back? I do it too, I am aware of it, but I can’t seem to stop. Grip training?

Tight wrist wraps that go up a little on the back of your hand, but not covering your palm, and conciously “point” your wrists straight, just as if you were to punch someone.
and x2 on what LilP said, I just wasn’t sure how to word it, haha
Awesome bench! I hate high reps and holding an arch its hard work!
So how did you manage to get such a damn fine arch nlmain??
Any tips/pointers? Or ar you just a lucky SOB, hMM

as Ink mentioned, wrap tight and high on back of hand…pretty example from Joey here:
Thanks to you both. I’ve got some wraps from kickboxing and I will try them tomorrow. Check my log!

I have some wrist wraps if you want to borrow them for the meet.
Not surprisingly, USAPL has rules regarding wraps . . .
Beautiful bench form, Frenchy. 50% of the buttocks have to remain on the bench. In other words, no daylight can be seen.
damn that is an awesome arch!! check out the guy behind you checking you out… his facial expression says it all, really. heh. most beautiful arch i ever saw
where you at??
