Not worth it IMO. Chains/bands I would say are for more experienced lifters, not something that you should mess with....Even guys who use chains/bands have a very regimented work out...

I dont know much about improving you bench. but heres what I would do..

Flat Bench less, or if you are work different grips..

Look at the biggest benchers in the world what are the two things they have in common. Huge Triceps, and huge lats...Do more exercises that incorporate the two..Also what is ur workout plan like? If you go in and try and max out everyday you won't get strong. Try a new rep/set scheme

Mostly, try new things, do more lat stuff. If you can wide grip pull ups Tricep presses, dips etc.
