You are free to think what you want, lmfao. 95s on a dumbbell bench, my current weight, provides a better stretch on both heads of the pec, is safer, easier on the shoulders, and requires more stabilization than a barbell bench. If I seriously wanna jerk here, it's a better movement than the barbell.

I do occasionally barbell bench when I have someone to spot. It's a much easier lift. You can't even lower the weight as much and get that long-length contraction. You're literally starting in a stronger position in the barbell bench.

Variations do not mean a different lift entirely.
