Proper bench press technique?

Hi everyone!At my school weight room we only have a mechanical? Bench press. Like one which is a bar attached to a pulley that lifts up weights. So basically a bar you push up with adjustable weight and no free movement. Anyone tell me what it's called? Before anyone goes into saying It's far better to use an actual bar I'm just trying to make do with what I got. So basically On this thing I can push 100lbs once (13 years old) so I wanted to know what the best weight and how many reps/sets of what weight I should do for best results. I would also like to know proper technique so if someone could link me to a site or tell me that'd be great. I would also like to know best exercises to supplement my bench press. Thanks in advance,Jamie

squeeze your shoulder blades in combination underneath you and preserve them locked in combination during the recreation. Take a breath, unrack the burden, scale down the bar till it touches your rib cage, then press again up, exhaling as you move the sticking factor.
