Thats why you see the really big benchers doing a lot of dips with added weight (think belt with plates)
I have in the past always done some sort of row on my bench days as well, but I think I am going to do more concentrated muscle group days
Chest day
Back Day
Shoulders
Legs

I couldn't agree more. I've recently taken a break from doing dips but they will return to the program shortly.
Right now it's
Squat - Pull - assistance ( mainly GHR, reverse hyper and abs )
Bench - bench variation ( band / chains etc ) tris abs ghr etc
Upper back grip and moderate bicep work , more abs ghr etc

Ya it's kind of weird. I was training with one group of guys let's say mid range powerlifters to now training with elite level guys. And it was weird being told my form was awful and I was full of weaknesses. Was surprising to me to be honest. Hopefully with the problems now being address I can move even farther forward.
It's funny at the old gym benching 400+ was big dog status. Now my heaviest sets are working up sets for these other guys.
