Okay, let me clarify something. The subject line about benching like a 12 year old girl was my line. Willie didn't say that. It made a good attention getter.
For those who say this is bad form, it is perfect form. In powerlifting you can arch your back as much as you want as long as your ass is touching the bench. You guys also aren't taking into consideration that in powerlifting you have to pause at the bottom of the lift and wait for the judge to give you the signal to press the bar. Try benching like that sometime and see how much your bench drops.
