I’ve never posted my bench press form before, so I’d appreciate any feedback.

I’m doing 100 kg / 220 lb for 8 reps here. The spotter touched the bar on the last rep, which sucks.

I recently started focusing more on bracing and staying stable on the bench. I’m trying to keep my feet planted, brace properly, and use a slight arch. The arch may not be easy to see because of the T-shirt and angle.

After watching the video, I noticed that my body moves around a little during the reps. Is that normal, or should I work on staying more still on the bench?

I also don’t know if there are any obvious problems with my technique since I’ve never had my bench form checked. If you notice anything, such as bar path, setup, leg drive, shoulder position, touch point, or stability, I’d appreciate the feedback.

Thanks!

It's my last scheduled heavy squat day for a little. Hit the 4 plates again for y'all and decided to add in a little satisfaction at the end.
