I don’t even bench and these tips added 20 lbs to my max

That feeling when every session looks the same and every week looks the same in terms of not only technique but muscle size as well

Factuals. Far too much I hear folks benching for a week, stopping for 2, and going back expecting it to be a good and safe bench session. Practice your (good) form weekly or several times a week if possible

I have a problem, when I retract my shoulder blades and go to lift the bar, my shoulders fall down and my back goes flat again, so if I can’t keep my shoulder blades retracted, I must have to lower the weight?

My problem is the length of my arms i have a 82 reach. When my elbow hit 90degrees my delts engage and its all shoulders on the way back up until i pass 90 again.

Calgary barbells video is probably the best in terms of technique

Arching my bach makes me weak and not confortable doing much reps, I've been practicing the 'technique' for 2 months and I basically got no gains, went from 65kg for 5 to 70 for 4 in 1 month and got stuck for 1 month, last week, I did bench, same thing 70 for 4, I said fuck it and put on 75 after my 3 working sets, I benched it like dumbbells, flat and shoulder blades moving did 2 reps, 4 minutes later I attempted 80kg in a very un-powerlifting technique, did it for one but I struggled 10cm off my chest, still did it, and I don't even know how to use leg drive or bounce. Just the week before I tried 75 with 'good technique' and I couldn't lift it off my chest.
Maybe I'm build different, but I'm sure I'll never try to arch again

Is closing the shoulder plates will hurt the shoulders?

You bench long enough you will have shoulder issues no matter.
