I workout by myself at the gym and do bench. I just leave the collars off and don’t go over 235 much. From the looks of these videos maybe I need to rethink my approach.
Just use dumbells or a machine, your muscles dont know you are using a bar

Yeah better for us old farts..  ;D  although at home i use a Barbell especially on inclines. I´ve went through periods where i´ve only done inclines on a low incline & no flat press & got good results. Parallel bar dips are more effective imo than flat benches.

ive been doing 15 degree inclines as of late...and a hammer strength decline press machine..in my garage gym, i have dip bar that i custom made to my liking.. nothing fancy.. the bars are just a lot wider.. my upper body looks better when i dip too.

Maybe yours don’t, but mine are special, they read my thoughts via the mind muscle connection. They’ll know…

How come pushups are not dangerous?

Are pushups dangerous?

Pushups and flat bench press are the same movement.
Not unless you put hundreds of pounds on your back.

Just stuff like this I wouldn't do..( weighted Roman chair)
I've done push ups where my partner put a plate on my upper back which was OK
