And if you want to take that approach you can. You will make progress (not as much as you could) but there will come a time when it will start to be very minimal.....

If you really want to increase your bench, the triceps must be the strongest muscle group and you need to train them with real weight....ie don't be doing f'n kickbacks with 10 lbs....your triceps can handle a ton but most never push them. This along with a strong upper back and rear delts is the key to a big bench....

But most people go in do a million chest exercises and neglect the ones just mentioned or minimally train them.
