I have pain in my lower back when i arch during bench press - not the stupid extreme arch - just slightly more than necessary to reduce the ROM, what are the possible causes? Anything to take note of?

I have rounded back my whole life, not sure if that contributes to it?

Is tat pain consistently present during arching only or? First will be yr arching position, generally a fist size arch is good enough to ensure u dont go overboard with it, secondly its time to put more focus on working the posterior chain.

It is present during arching, specifically when I arch more than I have been used to/ I think is necessary, though I wouldnt say it's overboard. Any other time I dont feel it, sore maybe, but not this pain, where I have to really stop, luckily before I unrack.

Cant recall when it started or what happened prior to it.
