    Well will I work my pecs better if i arch or am i just better off


    notarching-- im2manly

    Arching allows heavier weight to be used safely. If you are concerned with
    bodybuilding and pec development I'd suggest ditching the flat bench and
    doing incline benches - don't arch.

    Flat benches aren't a great chest exercise, IMO.
