Yeah, my metabolism is so friggin' fast! I'll feel sore/tight, but it'll go away after a resting period. I'm benching 140lbs at the max right now...kinda low

Dude, I was stuck at 90-100, and my friend was like, try 150. So I tried it. Couldn't do it, and he told me to arch my back a little since that's what his trainer told him to do. Took a deep breath, exhaled while pushing, and I got it up. I did one set in 150, but no more. I finished another three sets with 140. Give it a try. That back thing really works, just don't arch it so much, might hurt your back. hahahaha.

hey not trying to be an ass but that trainer is an idiot. just cause positioning yourself some certain way yields better results doesn't make it the correct way. so yeah... try not to arch your back. also don't be one of those guys that puts their feet up on the bench either. yes you'll see plenty of guys way bigger than me doing it but it's still incorrect form.

hahaha, I will never put my feet up on the bench. hahaha. Yeah, don't know if it makes a difference, but my friend's trainer is from 24 Hour.
