I find it odd that you never max your weight on an actual bench press. All his bench press exercises are dynamic movements.

You're not supposed to be maxing out on your regular bench press every session. The key is to do variety of bench presses instead of doing just the regular bench. The reason for this is to work on where you are weak. For example if you're weak at lockout, floor press and 3-5br press will help. Another reason is if you go day in and day out just doing one style of bench press, your body will adapt to the movement quickly and you'll most likely see your max worsen.
As for dynamic, you should be doing full ROM movement, and the purpose of DE days is SPEED w/ proper form.
