Thanks a lot for your comment Tommy. We definitely want to avoid arching here, with the bench press it's fine as long as there's no pain and it's not excessive to the point the range of motion is decreased.

Thank you for the video. I've been doing this exercise & have the exact problem you describe about having to arch the back. But if I change to a lighter weight of dumb bell, it's easier to keep my back straight. Is that a sign to stick with the lighter weight for now?
Thank you for the tutorial! I was wondering for this exercise (seated and standing) what exactly you are doing with your scapula. Do i keep it engaged, do i engage the lats by pulling the shoulders down? or the opposite, do I allows for the shoulders to move as much upwards as possible? I hope I make sense haha. Thanks again :)
Thank you for your comment. No, don't try and move your shoulders up as much as possible (like shrugging up). Simply perform the movement in it's intended range of motion.
Yes, you can. Same principles apply. However, with a single dumbbell you will increase the core stability demands. Which is great but you just need to make sure you are still keeping your core stable with no sideways bending.

Thank you so much for your comprehensive content.
Thank you for your comment and feedback Amar. Glad the videos are useful.
I wish I found your videos earlier. I’ve been arching my back for two years with this exercise and even bench press! Great content though thank you.
You should arch your back with bench press.
