In Response To: Bench Press rule change will be good (Kevin D Stewart)

I disagree with the rule...There can be other ways to limit the arch without enforcing this rule. This will just add another subjective rule that is unnecessary. Who is one to judge what a real 'bench press' is suppose to be or when arching crosses the line beyond reasonable? We already use bench shirts that have the potential of adding unreasonable amount of weight to your raw bench whether you have a big arch or not. We have t-rex benchers with ROM's shorter then a 3 board press and gorilla benchers that can fit a entire house even if they arch big.

Anyway if it does change, whatevers. I can adjust and adapt. I'm still new to this sport, so I don't have the old man stubborn syndrome :P ...

Maybe the IPF should only allow single ply z-suits and blast shirts as a standard...no super supportive knee wraps, no arching on bench, no ultra wide sumo deadlifts...maybe that is reasonable... :P
