Thanks. I've always been rubbish at bench, and never made much progress. I avoided doing it for a long time because I was so bad at it, and it used to cause issues with my shoulders.

I've taken a bit of time to get my setup better and have started doing mobility work, and I've finally started to make some progress. Hopefully it can continue.

I need to hit the mobility work before I increase the weight by much. I felt i held my posture quite well, but i'd be guessing without a video. Core was braced well i think and thoracic posture felt good, but I still felt some pain in my back.
 
Pain? Where and when?

Vids help no end dude, especially in rehab stuff or if you're worried about how you're moving.

lumbar, centrally. Mild pain. I get lower back ache sporadically thorughout the day.

I have APT so it's possible I'm in too much extension when I lift.

Basically what I get, dull ache constantly *thumbs up*

Get vids, it will help, might just be how you're pulling initially or settings up.
