Partial Powerlifter Partial bodybuilding?


Ok I just realized, I mean took a really good look in the mirror at the gym, and realized that my chest is really big for my size, but my arms are average if not a little skinny... My arms have decent strength, but my benchpress could use some power. I'm wondering can I implement a powerlifting type workout for only certian bodyparts? My goal would be to increase my max benchpress since I'm not concerned with size on chest, but use a bodybuilding routine for bicep/tricep to increase size more? And has anyone done this, if so let me get any feedback or suggestions! :

If you want a maximal bench press number, you shouldn't be using your chest. If you use your chest on bench, your form needs to be adjusted for powerlifting. You chest will never produce as big a bench as your triceps will.
