Just take everything as a suggestion, its all trial and error i found what works for me may not work for you. You always try you push it till you cant anymore, if you think you can do one more rep, you do two reps. A good partner or trainer will push you if you want to be.
Oh and ignore this quote it will be the first and only time i will say someone is wrong because this statement is wrong!

A catastrophic injury can prevent you from completing a lift. If you are benching and you have a catastrophic injury a single spotter cannot help you. If you are benching very heavy you need two spotters, one on each side with the ability to lift the entire weight with no assistance from you.

A Smith Machine will suffice in that case, but it prevents you from performing the very bottom of the lift.
