arched bench is not a real bench
I've seen too many faggots on here who do only arched bench
You're cheating yourselves , arched bench is much easier than normal bench, power lifting comps shouldn't even allow it.
arched bench favors manlet betas with manlet leverages putting them at an advantage over more properly sized individuals. If no arching was required, almost all of the top powerlifter manlet fucks would be left behind in the dust since they aren't allowed to cheat anymore.
are you a 50 years old dad who has barely hit 1pl8 after 20 years old lifting?

Arching puts your shoulders in the right position tho

>No pain, no gain is a myth. At not point during your workout should you experience any pain or discomfort.
Discomfort and pain are two different things. Discomfort is a natural part of lifting heavy things over and over, and that's good if you're working out. Pain in a certain muscle or joint means that something is wrong with it and you should tend to it, not put it under more stress.

This. And if you need additional proof, note the trips.

>he feels discomfort while picking up heavy things and putting them back
Bad news: You aren't made for lifting.
It's well known that god tier lifters feel pure pleasure while working out. I can confirm it too. In fact it's extremely comfortable to feel the weight and pushing against it.
You should find a different hobby.
What are some cons when you became fit?

First for friendship
why does literally everyone i try to teach to deadlift not even have the flexibility to get into a decent starting position
it's not that extreme of a position.
then i'm like "ok do these stretches" and they never do
damnit
>that guy who yawns in between sets
>that guy who wears basketball shorts to the gym
>that guy who gets progressively more tired and weaker throughout his workout
>>37497556
>not feeling better and better as you get further into your workout
last one's on it's way out.
so i usually lift in regular chucks and they're fine for squats and deads but theyre about to need replacing.
are the chuck 2s just as good for lifting? im not sure if the new lunar cushioning gives any sort of lift or arch or anything. does anyone use them?
>>37496683
>lunar cushioning
the whole point of wearing chucks is the fact that they dont compress when lifting
lunar cushioning defeats that purpose
>>37496683
the only reason chucks are good are because they use a pretty hard rubber and have little to no give. If the new ones are any bit cushiony, probably not worth using.
The sole is a Nike running shoe sole so no.
I use my chucks to lift and my chuck iis to wear normally
Are you beach body ready?
shit no, but who the fuck cares, gonna sun my gut anyways
>>37493598
2>1>4>3
Not in a traditional sense, but I'm in the best shape I have even been, so basically yes.
It doesn't matter though. It's still too cold, windy and rainy to even think about going to the beach.
