OK, I think you may need to broaden your horizons. I am a bench only guy. That only means I COMPETE bench only. However, in the gym, I TRAIN squats and deads. In fact, if you go to Shawn Lattimer's website, his first 2 rules for increasing your bench is #1 Do squats....#2 Do deadlifts. And this is from a mostly bench only guy.

Many of us "bench-only" guys may have reasons for why we do not do all 3 lifts. In the mid 90's, while competing in a full meet, I fractured my L5 vertebrae on my 3rd dead. Because of that, I am limited in the amount of weight I am able to squat and dead. I am still able to bench. So rather than just do nothing, I compete bench only. And in the gym, I still train squats and I still train deadlifts. Just not able to hit weight that I think is competitive. And yes, I still do consider myself a powerlifter.
