I dont see anything wrong with doing bench in that fashion. If you are truly seeking isolation than more power to you on that. Others, and myself included feel that basic exercises such as the bench press, are more beneficial for everyone done more as a compound movement, with traditional form. Also many people will argue that compound movements, done improperly or tweaked to be performed as an isolation type exercise do more harm than good. Example being, bench pressing with a wide grip and elbows flared.
My big argument has always been, performing 1 exercise more effectively than say 3, is more beneficial in so many ways.
