Train smart for what your goals are. But that takes time and discipline.
I did supersets incline dumbbell press to flies HIT today and totally wiped my chest - into flat bench where I had to drop less than a 45 plate on each side. Ego definitely did not like that, but I persisted, haha. Felt like I should be wearing Lulu lemons doing that light bench, though.
