Floor Press...
Get me a vid without the band and fat gripz... Although kudos on a couple great training methods you picked up on. Also need two angles. Straight from the side, and one straight on.
From what I see you have tons of room to improve.
think about super setting with a dumbbell exercise along with your close grip bench[/QUOTE
i have just stared db benching again. I have a set of powerblocks that go up to 90#. last week was the first time i got all 90# up for 6 reps.
Your set up needs to change. Stop planting your feet first do that last. Need to set your grip first.
Lay on the bench and set up closer to the bar. When you unrack from so far away it flattens your back.
Set your grip. Put your feet on the end of the bench and push your hips up in the air driving your traps into the bench. Then put your feet where you desire. In your case, tuck them under you. From there, without lifting off the pad, drive your upper ass and upper back closer together while pinching your shoulder. Blades.
It should be tight and uncomfortable as hell.

MUCH BETTER!!!!! Arch was bigger and you looked tighter overall. Remember first thing though is set the grip.
Also watch the bar path. It changes rep to rep. Find the path where you are the strongest and stick to that. Every rep must be identical.
