    Change your routine if you're worried about making 10 reps, or just put more weight on and do less reps.

    a way that i got out of a situation like that is to start doing dumbell press instead of regular flat bench and to start hitting the shoulders more, that has always worked for me, id do 4 week of dumbell press and get back on a bench and my max would be higher than what it was, so i say change it up.

    You might be overtraining.

    Have you been neglecting any other body parts that assist with Bench Presses, like Triceps or Front Delts? Just a thought.
