okay, come back to me when your chest is half my size and you bench over 400lbs raw.

Obviously the same fucking exercise can be done with barbell but you will isolate your chest and triceps a lot more and take the load off your shoulders and core which the fucking OP obviously needs work on his chest.

I am getting real tired of people on this forum thinking compound lifts are god. You really need to mix up your routines and learn some new lifts if you want to break plateaus and really get to the next level of being bigger/stronger.

I've benched 395, but that doesn't have anything to do with the fact that the smith machine is shit for your joints.

You're the one in the wrong. Mixing up routines is not needed. Progressive overload and periodization is needed. Nn goofy exercises to break plateus. Please, either do some reading or go back to wherever you've been for the past 3 years. You're doing this forum no favors.

You sure talk a lot and why are you so racist towards the OP? Shows weak character...

if youre an elbow flarer/naturally let the weight come down(a 95% of the people in the gym do), you should try benching with your elbows inward about 25-45 degrees, will put the emphasis on your chest and triceps and not so much on your shoulders. This can increase your bench dramatically, as well as prevent shoulder injuries.
