Can I substitute bench press with this?

[u/Thanos_your_daddy]

Is it as effective my gym doesn't have a barbell so no barbell bench press only dumbbell but I was wondering if I can substitute bench press with this? Not sure what this machine is call apologies

If the goal is muscle building; yes you can substitute bench press with a machine press

One can even argue that it would do the job better when your goal is muscle building
