Bench/DB press technique question
When bench pressing or when using Db's, do you guys keep your shoulder blades retracted (pinched together) throughout the movement or do you allow your shoulders to round forward towards peak contraction?

I never actually though about this but examining this now I say I round my shoulders forward. Keeping them totally static and contracted close to the body would create an uncomfortable pressing situation I would imagine, at least for me.

Range of movement is crucial, so avoid doing anything that causes the movement length to shorten.
