Arching Can Improve Shoulder Stability

The shoulders and upper body musculature is often the linchpin of a good bench press. Having a stable shoulder girdle allows all of the muscles that are associated with a strong bench press to do their job(s) more effectively. You can create a lot of shoulder stability through good scapular mechanics but you can create even better stability through the global extension of your spine while turning the bench press into a full-body exercise. —— 2020 Courses: • Virtual - Advanced Athlete
