[QUOTE="Kieran, post: 1150766, member: 4725"] The most effective and widely taught form for raw bench pressing is to tuck slightly towards the bottom of the movement and then flare as the bar comes several inches of the chest causing the bar to move in a j-curve. If you're tucking through out and not pressing in a j-curve then you're sacrificing a lot of weight by not using the joint at it's optimal line of pull, and it's only really effective for when wearing a bench shirt. If you're flaring throughout the movement then it's a shoulder injury waiting to happen. This video from Wendler is probably the best video around for teaching basic bench form (bench is first exercise): [URL]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-_vCDajd-0[/URL] [/QUOTE]
