Thank you for the tips. I am training two girls at the gym right now and I will share this video with them.

Thanks for posting this!
No problem
I'd really add that the best thing girls can do is to buy fractional weights for minimal increases in poundage. A girl I train has gone from benching 120 @ 126 bw to benching 209 @ 115 in a meet in 17 months by basically just focusing on doing lots of volume at ever-so-slightly increasing poundages. While arching works very well for her, she also has adapted a very good technique along the way

That is a fantastic improvement. And shows that woman can make noticable increases with time and small jumps.
