Moral of the story, use free weights more often to increase bench press strength.

Free - weight exercises such as the bench press produce better muscular and skeletal adaptations than machine exercises such as the chest press.

One of final ways I apply resistance bands into strength based athlete training programs is by attaching bands to the body's center of gravity while performing free weight exercises like squatting, bench pressing, cleans or push pressing.

For example, when comparing constant load (free weight) and constant resistance (pneumatic machine) bench presses, the constant resistance bench presses involve higher peak velocities, because they allow greater acceleration at the start of the movement (Frost et al. 2008).

Assessing the effect of bench press muscle action and region, Van den Tillaar & Ettema (2013) explored the difference in pectoralis major muscle activity between the counter-movement (stretch - shortening cycle) and concentric - only free - weight bench press variations in three distinct regions: pre-sticking, sticking and post-sticking region.

For example, a barbell squat or bench press can be performed with just free weights, with free weights plus elastic bands, with free weights plus chains, with just chains on an empty barbell, or with just bands on an empty barbell.

Assessing the effect of muscle action and region, Van den Tillaar & Ettema (2013) explored the differences in muscle activity between the counter-movement and concentric only free - weight bench press in three distinct regions: pre-sticking, sticking and post-sticking region.

They reported that the biceps brachii displayed significantly greater muscle activity when performing the free - weight bench press compared to the smith machine at 60 % but not 80 % of 1RM.

Assessing the effect of weight implement used, Saeterbekken et al. (2011) explored the differences in biceps brachii muscle activity between the free - weight barbell, dumbbell and smith machine bench press.

Biceps brachii muscle activity seems to be higher in the bench press using free - weights compared to machine resistance.

Assessing the effect of implement, Schick et al. (2010) found no difference in pectoralis major muscle activity when performing the free - weight bench press or when performing a Smith machine bench press.

McCaw & Friday (1994) explored the differences in muscle activity between the free - weight bench press and the smith machine variation with 60 % and 80 % of 1RM.

Investigating the effect of muscle action and region within the bench press movement, Van den Tillaar & Ettema (2013) explored the difference in muscle activity between the counter-movement and concentric only free - weight bench press in three distinct regions: pre-sticking, sticking and post-sticking region.

Saeterbakken et al. (2011) also found no difference in pectoralis major muscle activity between the free - weight, smith machine or dumbbell bench press.

Overall, research indicates that the free - weight and machine bench press produce very similar levels of pectoralis major EMG amplitude and therefore either will train the muscle effectively.
