It worked for me, sort of. I gained about 7-8 pounds while I was on it, kept about 4-5 after I stopped. I lifted more weight while I was on it, and kept most of the strength afterward. It worked best for me at first, when I did have really noticeable performance gains right away. I got off it and went back on later, and the second time I didn't notice nearly as much difference. So I eventually quit.
On the benches, try doing partials -- don't take the weight all the way down to your chest. You'll be able to lift more, and you will build strength. There's nothing sacred about the bottom 25 percent of the bench press rep, and it's the part that's hardest on your joints.
