ok WTF is wrong with me

[ChiTownTommy]

I know this should be in the workout furom but more people come to the here so i am going to ask here,
my bench has not gone up 1lb in 7 mounths, my max is stil 275 for 5 reps, why can i not get any stonger, i am eating right enough, i see gains in every other part of my body, i just can't increase my bench, i have been trying, and trying hard, i have started working more on my tris to help but it still hasn't gone up any, my chest routine for bench is just about the same i very it up every know and then to shock my chest, what you guys and gals think,
225x8
245x8
275x5
then i do db incl;ines, and flyes?
any help would be great i am stuck on this **** number i mean if i could get to repping 275x10 that would be great. thanks

try some new things, such as negatives, reverse grip, etc... You need to change it up more

Why is it so important to do 275 for 10 reps? At 5 reps your max is a little over 300. Try this for for 4 weeks and if your bench hasn't gone up something is severely wrong.
Week 1 : 235 x 5, 245 x 5, 255 x 5, 265 x 5, 275 x 5
Week 2 : 265 X 5, 275 x 5, 285 x 3, 295 x 2, 305 x 1, 305 x 1, 295 x 2, 285 x 3, 275 x failure.
Week 3 : 275 x 5, 285 x 5, 295 x 3, 305 x 2, 315 x 1, 3 x 6 @ 225
Week 4 : 285 x 2, 295 x 2, 305 x 2, 315 x 2, 325 x 1, 3 x 3 @ 285

Use this for just your bench, but still continue with your auxillary lifts and train your tri's hard.

This is a good idea!! I would also throw in some super sets on dumbell flys. Start out heavy (3 reps max) then drop 20lbs (6 reps max) then drop 20lbs (8 rep max) with very little rest between sets. Have the dumbells on the ground and ready to go. Peace
