you just don't hear a lot about him because he doesn't drivel on about how you need to act like a LION and thus isn't worshipped by grown men online

WTF?
If I went to my ailing father "Dad I just lifted 900lbs for you"

His response would be

"dickhead" or "have you thought some more about that PhD?"

The most he locks the weight out, to the chest, is this range of motion ideal?

Ideal for what? A better bench, or a better chest.

lol, if your dad didn't care that you were well on your way to being the worlds strongest man you should do him a favour and just kill yourself now, because he doesn't give a shit about you and never will

It pretty much amounts to the same thing

The bench press on its own is a terrible exercise for the chest if you're set up for powerlifting.

Bullshit. That's all dependant on the bench style of the lifter. My tits still get a decent workout with my set-up.

Im not saying they dont, but from a purely "bodybuilding" perspective you can achieve greater growth from other exercises for the pecs.

Which other exercises are better?

Personally I got the most from decline bench press, which ironically is similar to the arched bench press.

Although elbows flared, controlled tempo bro building etc.

Powerlift style benching only seems to hit the outside of my chest, although my grip is fairly neutral and involves alot of tricep and shoulder.

Exercises in mental fortitude.

Sorry, I was referring to bench press in general not the different minor variations
it's all still bench press
