Ever since I brought my grip closer my speed off the bottom has been amazing. Fixed my arch to avoid lower back pain but it kept my butt off the bench by an inch. I'm hoping my new olympic shoes will improve my arch/lower back problems so I can look like this guy (fast forward to his bench). I know I'm always watching the russians, but this guy's arch is ridiculous. Plus, he's the world champion in my weight class in the IPF.

are you fucking serious? 245 x 3 raw? I can't imagine that kind of PR.

And I forgot to mention its thanks to Dave's grip advice ;) One more thing I forgot to mention was that today I pushed down with my heels during the entire set. This and the tightness of my upper back gave me a surprising spring effect. This truly is the most technical lift in powerlifting.
