How much do you have to arch for this to be a problem? When does it happen? On liftoff? I'm curious.
The Rogue utility bench isn't the least bit slippery. My Ironmaster bench is more slippery, but I can't recall ever slipping.

I've got the Rogue bench - that's the one giving me grief.
I notice the slipping when I try to get extra tight for heavy sets. I'm not super flexible, so I don't have a crazy arch to begin with - but when I go for that last notch or two of tightness while I'm setting up, that's when I slip.
What about double-sided tape on the back of your shirt?
You can stretch a couple resistance bands across the bench. Pretty much impossible to slip after that. Now when I set up It's more likely that the bench will slide across the floor (which has happened) rather than my back slide up the bench.
A cotton shirt with some kind of logo on the back is helpful. I also use chalk if need be.
I also have the Rogue bench. The best thing to use is shelf liner, which is cheap, fits easily in your gym bag, won't slip, and doesn't compress. Buy a roll, cut out a square piece, and place it down where your traps contact the bench. Won't slip again.
