Bench press form check request please
Fellow lifters,

my bench has been stalling for quite a while now, so I decided to take a video so your expert eyes can review it and give me some pointers to improve. Please be honest.

video:
! No longer available


This was my last work set of my first bench session of the day. It's 90kg/198lb or 80% of my 1RM.

Thanks!
David

Upper back needs to be tighter.  Settle that weight into your lats more before pressing.  Hip tension comes and goes as well.  I would reposition my feet either wider or tuck them under more and really lock that into position.  You need to use leg drive 100% of the time when pressing.  The combo of these two things will also give you a bigger arch.  Keep working on it!

Thanks Kevin for taking the time to check and provide feedback! Much appreciated!
I'll start working on getting a more stable/stronger base. Thanks for the tips.
