There's good stuff on the net but there's so much bullshit to wade through that you'll get lost. His shit is a good resource if you're just starting out and don't have access to good coaching. In regards to the bench itself. In all your lifts, always warm up with the bar only and work your way up as your body lets you.

Good luck.
