      It isn’t too bad.
      A few small tings to work on.

      You are losing tension, tightness at the bottom-lock in your upper back and lower the bar into your lats.

      Sounds easy, isn’t.
      Drive knees out more.

      It also looks, from this angle that your elbows are tucking in too much too soon.
      Spread that bar apart and don’t tuck until the shirt locks up.

      Thank you. Bench is hard. I never think knees out (so thanks for that!) and I do struggle with losing tension.
