Do you want the bench press done with a tempo or pause on the chest?
Also is this a proper “back extension”?…..

Maybe we’ll rename it next cycle, but, we want a hip extension. Keep back tight and only bend at the hip. (Your traditional, likely not properly named back extension) if that makes sense.
