question... if your hips come off the bench during your Bench Press is that considered a failed rep?

I just started training people out of my garage 3 weeks ago, and have 5 full time clients already. 2 are going to the military, 1 is a high school wrestler and football player, 1 plays in the OHL and is home for the summer and has hopes of being drafted next year. 1 is planning on competiting in crossfit. Things are moving much quicker than I anticipated but it's a good time so I'm glad to be doing it.
Good luck to Nathan H., Joey Warren all the competitors going this weekend.

C. 221x6
D. 16
* went for 270 but hips came off the bench.
* good luck Nathan and Joey this weekend! kill it out there like you guys do on here!
James, are we looking to pause at the 'bottom' of the high hang at all or should it be all one swift movement?
Late May
A: 250
C: 215 x 5
B: 95, 115, 135
D: 12
Notes:
Bench felt decent but could only hit old PR. Had to switch B and C as my spotter had to leave. Probably could have squeezed one more if I had rested longer.
135 HHSS actually felt better than my 135 full snatch has in the past.
Went full out on situps each set and hit 13 then half way down to 12. I always do anchored situps so it was a good change.
Made up some row intervals from yesterday's run intervals.
Good luck to everyone this weekend!!
Late May -
A. 365
B. 95/115/135
C. 310x3
D. 14
Notes: 85% AMRAP was really heavy today. Normally this is a 5/6 rep weight...oh well.
Good luck everyone this weekend! I'm judging SW regionals...this is going to be a crazy competition.

m/69.5"/169
A. 285 (PB)...I hit 285# last time I did a heavy single on the bench, but after reading the comments today about hips coming off the bench being a failed rep, I can't count the last time because my hips did come off a bit...I didn't know this constituted a failure...this time, hips stayed down and there was no real sticking point so I'm pleased with this PB...
B. 95,115,135...third rep of last set was sloppy

No spotter yesterday, so had to do this one this morning.
A: 145 - PR by 30lbs! Amazing what some coaching will do. (Thanks for the spot and tips, Ken)
B: 45, 65, 75
C: 120 x 6
D: 12
Nice work sHELLy that is awesome. It makes a huge difference when someone can raise the weigh off the bar initially for you and then having a spotter allows you to go for it without worrying about killing yourself. I will be doing this later alone so don't expect any PRs
Late May.
A.245
B. 88# 3x3 "Benis" Excercise.
C. 210x2
D. 11 (110 total)
No umpf on bench last night, pr is 250, and it wasn't happening. Good to be home, hope to do the interval run today that I missed on Wed.
Operating on too little sleep and shoulders would not loosen up today. Ended up having IMS treatment on both shoulders later in the day. Also seeing the 'hand specialist' at my physios office on Monday to get a splint made...Strained my right hand/thumb at sectionals and have been waiting for it to 'just go away'. It will be good to get it to start healing.
A)117.5 (pr is 125...body just didn't want to lift...couldn't get 122.5 out of the rack! That's never happened before?!?)
B)52/62/70
C) 6 or 7 reps at 100#...felt like 1000#!!!
D)low score 15

D. 16,14,13,11,11,9,9,10
Happy with the BP, I used to be able to do 300 so I'd like to get back up there. The bad news is that I can bench more than I can squat, gotta work on that. I've just started doing weighted squats in this past year, regardless it is still out of balance. Squat snatch's felt really good today. I'm getting more comfortable settling the weight into the overhead position at the bottom.
A. 255 15lb PR
B. 115/125/135
C. 7 reps at 215 lbs
D. 13
Huge PR on the bench press. Up from 240 in february. My BP is beginning to resemble that of an adult male for the first time in my life. Squat snatches felt fluid and fast, resisted the temptation to go heavy.
A 170#s oooooouuuuuuuu PR by 30#
this guy at my globo used to be a powerlifter and he reeeeeaaallly helped me and just gave me the confidence to be able to do it. And he gave me some good advice about warm up and approach to heavy lifts. It was awesome!!!!
B 65 all three no squat due to knee
C 145 x 6 reps ooooouuuuuu that is 5 pounds over my old 1 RM
D 14
Lisa M...that is so freakin' awesome!!! I'm excited for you...can't even imagine how excited you must be!!!!!
Lisa,
That is sooooooooo exciting. I know how you feel. I was over the moon with my pr. 170# is HUGE. AMAZING. CU soon :)
Thanks ladies. I quietly did a fist pump in my globo and had a huge grin on my face. It is small consolation though to the issues with my knee. I am pounding anti inflam supplements and icing an starting physio and contemplating an injection of some viscoelastic compound?? Can't wait to meet you LuLu
Late May
A. 125 (15# PR)
B. light weights for technique
