The Xiphoid Process. Or just below it. I'm sure putting the bar on the Process itself would eventually kill a lifter...possibly.

How? You tocuh the bar to your chest, not drop it. If you dropped the weight, anything overlike 350 or 400 would kill you. |

Okay from everything I read I have a question; when doing this are you supposed to clench your shoulders together and arc your back but keep your butt and upper back on the bench or keep your entire back side firmly flat on the bench?

First one, but I woulden't focus on the upperback, but specifically on your traps. And clench your shoulderblades together.

Alright, and my mistake I did mean shoulders-blades, but I just refer to them as shoulders because my mind is very simple at times. So basically keep your lower back arced, keep your traps and butt on the bench for proper form. You also want to feel your traps flexing from pushing the shoulder-blades together? |

You wil just feel an enormous pressure on your traps, which also allows you to make the bar go down a few inches without moving your elbows (cool ha).

Need opinions on: To what extent is a hollow back tolerable?
When I started bench pressing I noticed that I really had a deep hollow back from time to time, nowadays I'm doing everything to prevent that from happening... I'm pushing my back against the surface when bench pressing, what do you do?

I thought the arch was really just for powerlifters seeing how benching is a "full body lift" to them(something about transfer of momentum or helping you move more weight some other way)
It also kinda makes flat bench decline... If you're benching to build your chest and not your bench max I don't see the point

Well, Tate's not a powerlifter so I don't see how that could be true.

Stated goals: get bigger and stronger. He says he doesn't compete.

regardless of it being used by powerlifters, i do think its necessary for all lifters. even if you watch pro bb bench they use powerlifting form. |

You can put 2, probably even 3 arms under my back when I'm benching and I'm not warming-up/feeling anymore. |

regardless of it being used by powerlifters, i do think its necessary for all lifters. even if you watch pro bb bench they use powerlifting form. Not always. They use both. If you search Ronnie Coleman 500 Bench Press, he does 500 pounds, 5 reps, body builder style all chest, elbows flaired out. Although it's hard on the rotator cuff, bodybuilders to powerlifting form to build the tricep, and body builder form to build the chest and shoulders. |
