Ego Bench

Ego Bench: A type of technique used on bench press that utilizes an absurd arch, practically turning the movement into a decline bridge hip-thrust press that limits the range of motion to 2 inches. Typically, the movement is accompanied by the strongest wraps that provide nearly as much power as a slingshot. Ego benching can literally add 100 pounds to your bench.

“Bro, look at that kid over there with his little ego bench hip-thrusting 405 with the arch of doom and 5x goblin gear wraps, I’ll give him 300 comp standard. ”
