How's you leg drive feeling? And how's your arch? I'm checking the ucla powerlifting channel on youtube and I don't see as many videos as I'd like to see. I wanna see what your banches look like yo!!!
Luke, that doesn't make sense. Are you feeling any pop off the bottom? If not, then your shirt is too loose.
Another possibility is that you're letting the shirt pull the bar through the path of least resistance (usually low towards your belly), rendering it almost useless. You want to control the bar straight down to where the shirt will resist and give you the most pop.
In this video it looks like you didn't get much pop out of the bottom, which could be because your shirt isn't tight enough. Generally if you have a properly fitting shirt, it should take about a few weeks to break it in before you get close to touching (getting loose at the bottom and losing your form just to touch doesn't count).
A properly fitting shirt will also be somewhat painful to wear, but you need to get used to the feeling if you want to be proficient with gear.
I really don't know Vit. My Katana feels really tight. It's super hard to get the weight down, but then when I finally get it that last inch or 2 I lose all the tension somehow and I can't get it back up. Also I can't arch with a belt on.
If you're losing all your tension at the bottom, then it's a technique issue. You have to learn to stay tight throughout the whole range of motion, keeping your upper back/traps/rear delts extremely tight and braced against that bench. Remind your training partners to remind you this every time you bench if you have to.

it looks like someone who sucks at benching failing anything over 2 plates
