Form check before I start getting back in to heavier sets please.

I thought you're supposed to have heels off a little? Bring your feet back so that you can't get your heels down, but you're trying to push them down as hard as you can. This tightens the legs, creates the leg drive, gives a nice arch and plants the upper back into the bench.

Can't remember what SS says about bench technique, but I'm fairly sure this is how some powerlifters bench.

Yeah.. that's what I try to do.
pushing my upper back in to the bench requires me to get my legs/feet in to that position, and this is also what gave me a cramp lol

Sami, i get what you're saying, but just clarfiying that your whole foot is still meant to make firm contact with the ground right?

I get that cramping feeling too but luckily i've never actually cramped up. Once i get that cramping feeling i stop trying to arch it any more than it already is.

unfortunately, I did get a cramp on the second set as I pressed rep 4 up.
then I had to kick that leg out straight and reset it and do my 5th.
