Lifting head while bench pressing

[Ho Ling Hin]

Hi! I’m just curious to why people lift their head whilst doing dumbbell bench press during the eccentric part of the movement and returning to normal as they are pushing the dumbbell up. Is it beneficial for bench press? I’ve seen quite a few people doing it so there must be a reason behind it

It comes up naturally as you retract your shoulders. At least some people say that.
