Doing the same exercise and routine over and over will create altered-length tension relationships (length and tension a muscle produces at a resting length., altered force couple relationships (muscle groups working together), altered arthrokinematics (joint motion), altered sensorimotor(muscle and nervous system works together to gather, interpret and execute movements), altered neuromuscular efficiency (muscles working together in all planes of motion) and finally tissue fatique and breakdown. This will lead to the cumulative injury cycle.
Your body moves in different planes of motion so training primarily in the sagittal plane (bench press) you will risk injury continuing to train that way. Training through different planes of motion (frontal, sagittal and transverse) will help prevent injury and will increase force couple relationships (muscles working together) so you can continue to lift more during the bench press (or any exercise) and maximize your potential.
