There is nothing wrong with choosing to do the bench with a slight incline or decline, that's perfectly fine and is not a significant departure form the tenants of the routine. I would keep the angles slight, though.

Your great guru, 0311 himself, has vehemenently stated that he wouldn't touch FLAT bench again. And dumbells are not a bad idea for helping to tweak the stabilizers more. But no, don't run away from bench. You can do other things that SUPPORT the bench if needed.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
