Does your butt come off the bench like this?

Butts popping off the bench are a common occurrence in globo gyms and in max effort attempts in powerlifting competitions. It’s important to keep your butt down in the bench press but if it’s coming up, it could be coming up for a variety of reasons.

In this episode of the PRS Podcast Dr. Rori Alter, PT, PRSCC, SSC discusses an interesting variation of unintentional butt lift during the bench press, a cue to fix it, and a not so common reason why it may be happening and difficult to fix.
