Is arching your back on bench press bad?

1. It’s the Safest Position for Your Shoulders.

How do I strengthen my back arch for bench press?

One simple way to do this is to increase the back arch when setting up for the bench. The first and most obvious advantage of this is to shorten the distance that the bar has to be pushed. You can decrease the movement by several inches or more by switching from a flat backed bench to an arched back bench.
