Now that's an arch:

That's insane, almost not a bench press. Am not sure how good that might be for the back either.

Doesn't your arse need to be touching the bench to be a legal lift?

Lol most heavyweights would be happy with a stroke that short.

Some stretching helps get you there:

In that position some of his ass may well be touching so legal - I guess with your legs that wide it'd be difficult for it not to be touching.
Still looks wrong though

People will always try to bend the rules. Similar to what happened with the clean & press.
Looks like he'll regret that in later life though.

From the style of the bench and the flat foot placement he looks like he's in the IPF. I'm not sure if he would be able to touch legally in that position. He wouldn't be able to tuck his elbows at all and his stroke would be a few inches longer than it looks like in that picture. I'd like to see the video, anyway.

I imagine hyperflexibility to that extent would make deadlifting a rather injurious practice.
