should really only be benching once per week maybe even a bit less often. THat is if you are traing for strength. Work to a higher intensity but less frequently is a good guidline for strenght building. Otherwise full body compound motions are the best for general strength imho. If you want to know how strong somebody is you ask them how much can they deadlift not how much can they bench. Look into power cleans, clean and press, deadlifts, Straight leg deadlifts, front squats can be done without a rack, lunges, etc
This is all hipocracy from me though as I dont work out regularly these days. I was a pretty good "strength athlete" in my younger days though. 380lb no equip bench, 605 deadlift @ 18 years old and 185 lbs. I always gave the advice of shorter workouts, less frequent workout, but much higher intensity is what most people need. Leave the gym beat down but give yourself time to recover
