Reply With Quoteyour ass and the top part of your shoulders should be against the back of the bench this naturally makes your lower back not touch or arched you should not force the arch though it should be natural. i don't know what abs have to do with that maybe they just contract as you push up.

Need help with propper form
I have been doing some research on propper form and learnt loads about correct for for my full body workouts, for my bench press I found that I have to arch my back while squeezing the bar and trying to pull the bar apart, for sldl I have found that I keep my back straight and dont let my legs bend at all, not even at the start.
I checked the squat video on this forum which helped loads, I cant get my squats perfect, cant get my legs fully paralel to the floor, should I drop the weight a bit or try progress like this?
My barbell rows are very bad form but I done some research and found this, is this the correct technique: 7 Powerful Tips To Master Perfect Barbell Row Technique | StrongLifts.com please remember I am trying to build mainly mass.
With my BB shoulder press should my back now be arched at all? also people say I should focus on my abs, what does this mean...does it mean try tense my abs while lifting?

IMO , how old are u ex. lifter? If not u need to do weights u can fully control for the mass ie deads,squats, bench, C&J's lunges etc.. to build a strength base with proper form, then start going hevier, but u are doing the right thing researching and reading and learning , good luck bro

It means pull your lower abs in to provide a stable base to support the verticle load of the overhead press.

I am confused on how to pull lower abs in, do I just tuck my stomach in?

just forget the damn abs put your ass back against the back of he bench, your upper back and shoulders too , stay straight and tight. As you tighten your self to stabilize your body , your back will naturally arch a bit, and all your midsection including your stomach will tense as you lift, concentrate on the back being straight a it arched and on your lift the stomach part will follow.
