Hi Ando87,

 

When you’re coming down, your entire back is rolling down onto the bench. You should try to avoid this. The only part of your body touching the bench through the entire motion should be your upper back (your shoulder blades). You should also try to come down lower until your body & legs are horizontal. Both these things make the exercise significantly harder.

 

I don’t think it matters that you do the exercise with bent or straight arms. I never felt any difference in doing them one way or the other…

like markp said you have to stay hollow during the whole movement. to reach a horizontal line you have to lift your shoulders

slightly of the ground. otherwise you would loose your hollow body.
