Sometimes I use umm.. I think its called hammer strength or something.
But basically you're just benching the weight, you dont need to stabilize or anything.
Is the smith machine pretty much the same thing?

sounds like its a smith machine
barbell runs along sliders and has catch points you can rotate the bar to set it on. all you have to do is 100% push instead of focusing on stability as well. 
i use it for bench if i dont have a spotter sometimes. and i use it for shoulder presses (in addition to dumbells) all the time. you can also use it as an alternative to squats if you arent comfortable with real squats.

Moreso than actual squats. Maybe I'll start using that for now, just in case..

Honestly I've never done leg press, but I used to do squats alot. Now I think I should lay off. I hate leg days though, they feel like a chore
