My lower back never hurt with my knees parallel to bench surface. Any other way and I hurt
Nowadays I can only do decline because of the shoulder spur, so most of my chest work is hands below the chest on some sort of machine

Let's see you lift the same weight with your back flat, then tell me your bench 1RM is 1000lbs. Nobody counts half a rep with a flat back, why should arched back get that benefit? It's like crossfitters who can do 75 kip ups but only 10 pull ups. Can someone explain?
Proper form is weight of your body on your shoulders. Meaning your whole spine should not be in contact with the bench. That does not mean overexaggerate the arch to reduce the stroke - I've definitely seen this. Your ass should still be on the bench.
This is the kind of bench that really grinds my gears. "240lbs". Still super strong for someone that age it has to be said.

Why does this grind your gears? The arch?

The cleaning vigilantes. I always wipe down equipment after use. One guy said I hadn't done it. He wasn't even looking. My trainer had to intervene. What an asshat though.

So what did you tell him when he said you hadn't done it?

I said you can see I have sprayed it with the anti-bac. He said it was sweat. The trainer came and said smell it. Then a few others said they had seen me do it. Dunno what his problem was.

It's happened before. I have seen people not clean stuff when done and I go and clean it before use anyway.

In a sauna, people are going to SWEAT. Better to have the sweat steamed up again than just sitting on the bench, no? If it hits the burner, anything besides water that gets turned back to steam gets burned up.

I'm sure this was mentioned already but those portable bluetooth speaker setups. The gym I go to is in a very small town so you will often have anywhere from just yourself to maybe 3-4 others in there at a time. The 20 year olds now have these bluetooth tower speakers that they move around with and blast their music.

I hate when people leave their dog poop bags laying on the bench. Throw it in the neighbor company's trash can, for goodness sake

The same crap was going on at my gym for a little while. Thankfully, it seemed to have stopped.

It’s annoying that people come to the gym and spend all of their time filming; coming with a complete camera crew and all. Just lift!

Right?!? A bunch of BBW trying to get attention from the guys in that section of the gym. You should’ve seen their, “Yeah, we know look good!” facial expressions. SMH!
