the bench press

ok i’m wondering what bench press is useful for in sprinting? Is it simply for another stimulant for the CNS or does it have biomechanical purposes when sprinting for arm motion. Also i use dumbbells and am getting good progression with them, but when it comes to the barbell i have the hardest time and my max is only 160 for four reps. I don’t know why i’m so weak in this lift, could it be that i have to adapt to it cause the dumbbells bench press is somewhat different? Should i do both of them alternating or stick one lift, do bench on barbells one day and dumbells the other?
