Sore back from bench.

Yeah I would say just soreness. Take some time to let it heal. Really unless you are trying a max effort powerlift...you shouldn't arch your back or neck on the bench.

I disagree

I think everyone should adopt a power style bench press

It will prevent shoulder injurys, reduce chances of pec tear etc...

Absolutely right, my shoulders feel way better with benching this way. Not at all dangerous when done correctly

one thing to note. make sure you are following a power-lifting style to the concept of how you are lifting.

equipped power-lifting is different than un-equipped. the videos showed all equipped lifters max-ing and stuff. wearing a bench shirt changes things about your motion.
