lol arching on bench adds the illusion of more strenght but can lead to injury in my opinion was talking about nutrition but alright.

of course some arching could be alright its just not the proper way to bench and could lead to injury tho i see why some do it to have higher personal bench 1MR
Excessive arching only helps for powerlifting numbers, but no arch at all puts a ton of stress on the shoulders.
You can puff up your chest or have a slight arc to gain a mechanical advantage while still retaining a good range of motion and relieve most of the stress from the shoulders.

That is the truth.
