Bench Press Purpose

[Charlie_Francis]

@ntr

My coach told me before that raising the head and pushing into the floor with the legs and the other things powerlifters do to bench more weight would be useless for me because my primary concern was not the amount of weight lifted. If the bench’s main purpose is to raise general organism strength, then would it be better to push into the floor with the legs and attempt to recruit as many muscles as possible while doing the exercise?

Thanks for the reply

You want to be careful about arching your back too much during the bench
