dont listen to him, your lower back gets flexed too, mine feels worked right after benching as well
>>37950781
Yeah but it kind of hurts during benching
My ass is definitely fixed on the bench too so it's not like im hip thrusting it or whatever
>>37950781
It gets flexed as well but the focus is in drawing your shoulders back and bending in the thoracic vertebrae. The arch is to protect your shoulders(and secondly shorten ROM)

How do I do without hurting my shit up is the question?

Raise your chest while keeping your arse on the bench and feet flat.
My lower back is shit (one of the main reasons I started lifting) and I get no pain from benching.

Just took a vid of my bench, my elbows are like 45° is that ok? Will I impinge my shit up?

I'm fucking lost. Elbows at 45 degrees?
Fucking lay flat on your back, with your feet flat on the ground. Lift the bar off the rack, bring it down until it touches your chest, then lift it off you until you straighten your arms. That is one rep.

Enjoy your fucked shoulders.

It will get flexed, but the ideal back arch for benching is as much upper as you can get and the bare minimum of lower needed to get your arse on the bench from that position. The advantages come from the upper back arching - big lower arch and poor upper is just contorting yourself for no advantage.
