Pics of the plates below:

Too lazy to spread them all out but they're mostly rust-free. I'll prob have to clean them up a bit but not much.

lol I'll prob hide them in my room until I move out. As long as I find a job after I graduate, I should be able to move out within a year. More pics here: https://plus.google.com/u/0/photos/114133191046454414736/albums/posts
Let me know if you guys can see it

Tried 120lb overhead today went 2-2-3 which was embarrassing, but the reason is because my headphones blew out earlier so without music I can't give it my all unfortunately. You be lucky Haji!

Like gotunk said, that arch is way exaggerated. You need your heels on the floor. You just need to arch your back enough so that mr rippetoe can fit his hand under your lower back.
Excuse me hun, but what is your name? Vivian? I woke up next to you naked and, uh, did we, um?

According to Dave Tate, how you have your feet is a preference thing, but I assume you watched the "So you think you can bench" series since your form is almost identical to his. Looks like pretty good powerlifting form to me.

True enough powerlifters do do that. But unless you're a powerlifter you should probably tone it down. That form is concerned with getting as much help as possible from your pecks, only goal is to lift the weight in that specific exercise. It doesn't concern itself with practical muscle distribution or anything else for that matter but the goal.

Sweet plates by the way Infinity. Your dad probably has his reasons, but he doesn't wish to share. Maybe he had a traumatic experience with lifting once? :3

Powerlifting style bench involve the tricep and shoulders more, while slightly decreasing the pec involvement. This will allow more weight -> More stress on the muscles. As with the low bar squat, it makes sense to use the form that allows you to move the most weight.

Powerlifting style is also much safer on your shoulders and rotator-cuffs. Not sure what you mean with practical muscle distribution.

The whole reason why you arch your back in powerlifting is to decrease the angle between the lower arms and the pecks, making it easier to lift by using more pecks/core, lessening both the work you have to do with your arms and the distance you have to lift (because your chest is higher up). I got that from the Rippetoe videos on youtube. Where are you getting your information? :p

With practical muscle distribution I meant that powerlifting pushes downwards, basically, whereas "proper" form pushes out, involving the upper body more. I guess "practical" isn't really the word I was looking for...

Oh, is that powerlifting meet rules?
I like it because that bench is really wobbly and it gives me a bit more stability. I had a lot of trouble (i.e. bench was stalling for a good month) when I first changed to this gym because of that. I'll look into changing my form when I move to a diff gym with a better bench.
@Osmoses: I think last time I tried it with my feet on the ground, they just slipped haha
@Sneakyz: Yeah that's where I got my form

Elitefts would be were I read/watch bench press stuff. http://www.t-nation.com/free_online_article/most_recent/the_best_damn_bench_press_article_period some stuff there aswell.
The arch itself is mainly to push yourself into the bench and get a stable base, since every instability will mean some of your power is not going directly into the bench, while also minimizing the distance the bar has to travel. The pec involvement doesn't seem to change much with the arch but the slightly closer grip and the fact that you lower the bar more towards your belly will both lessen the involvement of the pec and increase the involvement of tricep, shoulders and lats respectively.

Even though the researcher denies it, it's still based on calories in < calories out. His research seems to mostly look at what affects the calories in part of the equation:

"I don't believe in the energy balance model, which is calorie-centric," he says. "I believe in the fat deposition model, which is insulin-centric. The reason is that by altering insulin dynamics, you can alter both caloric consumption and physical activity behavior. This has been my research for the past 16 years."

That is to say, by altering insulin dynamics, you eat more, so your calories in > calories out. It's the same thing, he's just choosing to focus on one element of the equation. That's my interpretation at least.

Ya powerlifting rules say u need flat feet on floor, cant move feet or ass after unrack. Its because u can lift more if you stand on top of toes and keep ur ass in the air.
