Do you SUCK at Benching?

The arch.... Oni take note, you can't improve on bench till you can arch like this...
 
LOL I wouldn't go as far as to say that you can't have a big bench without an arch
That arch is silly though and I agree with Jamie Lewis, he is making up for being a shitty lifter

why would you go into a competition, where the end goal is to lift more weight, utilising a method/technique you KNOW will not yield the best results?

It's like taking a knife to a gun fight when you've got a rocket launcher in the boot of your car
 
Only women and really small guys use that technique with any sort of success
My goal is to spare embarrassment at meets when it comes to the bench press, not further it by using ridiculous technique

If I rocked up tomorrow and posted a video of me doing 100kg with that form, do not pretend for a second that I wouldn't be ridiculed

No he's right, being technically proficient is nothing in this sport when you don't have the strength to match. Learning a technique is one thing. Applying it to a heavy lift is another.

But honestly 0ni does have a lot of theoretical knowledge and would definitely be helpful to a degree. He just lacks experience to back up his brain.

but the sooner you learn good technique you have that forever, it will only help you later when shit gets heavy, i noticed the other day when benchin raw when doing forced reps that when i failed i never fell out of groove, thats what you want. learn and improve technique at all times, strength will come with good programing.

te longer you have good technique the better your motor paths are when you are training, so in theory you will be able to push much harder
