I know that lots of trainers knock the standard bench press, but I love it for growth purposes. Granted, I perform the movement with dumbbells, which offers a little more freedom of movement as opposed to a barbell.
I also raise my feet off the ground to eliminate posting leverage. I feel like the flat back also reduces the involvement of my lats to a degree. I lower the bells to a point just below where a regular barbell would stop. I pause at the bottom of each rep just long enough to avoid stretch reflex (bounce), and then power up.
This technique, of course, is far from ideal for handling impressive weight, but I feel my chest working much more than when employing more conventional BP form. I believe that my chest has filled out a bit as a result.
I also used to like doing neck presses on a machine, but despite the "feeling," I never noticed much in terms of development.
