The one exercise I seem to always have trouble maintaining tightness on is bench press. No matter how much I tell myself to pull my shoulder blades together, arch my lower back and keep most of the pressure on the upper back/traps area, all is lost once I unrack the weight. I can tell because the weight just feels loose side to side and I can't even keep the weight steady just holding it locked out all the time. I've tried to setup the way Dave Tate recommends in his bench setup tutorial with my feet under the bench driving my heels (theoretically) into the ground or with my feet more out.
Any tips or links to previous posts/guides for good queues to keep tight on bench?
P.S. I workout alone with no spotter.
