Alexander Bromley in my opinion has some of the best videos about how to gain muscle mass doing weight lifting I have seen
I believe this because he mentions what he calls developmental exercises which use a longer lever arm
I believe that as long as you do not over do it, using a longer lever arm is better stimulus for muscle growth if the amount of weight is the same
Of course you might have to use less weight when you lengthen the lever arm to avoid injury

This is a Alexander Bromley video for new lifters
And please do not do barbell bench press
A lot of people have died doing barbell bench press
You can do a bench press with dumb bells instead with less risk of death in my opinion
