I'm surprised no one has mentioned just setting up the rack properly so safety height is just below your arch.

Both of which are very useful for everyone looking to bench more ime.

So adjust.
Personally my bench response best to both singles and doubles, and higher rep assistance.

Lunges or split squat variation
Back friendly row (dB, landmine, inverted)
