With proper form on the bench, you can allow the bar to drop with your shoulder blades back, driving from your lats. In addition, good core balance as you drive up helps accentuate the chest. So, while primarily chest, I see it as being one of the best overall lifts.

Squats and deads are pretty much whole body lifts, benches are somewhat limited. Do nothing but benches for six months and see the results, then do the same with squats or deads. I see alot of guys who focus on benches and curls, you know, the stuff you see in the mirror and they've got scrawny legs and no ass.
