    much agreed,also the 5/3/1 method will help also,it helped me alot,and maybe dont bench press all the time,change up your excercises,maybe use db floor presses,bb floor presses,power rack benching etc,you dont havt to bench regularly to get stronger

    Seemed like every time I plateaued on bench I would start to do tri/bi supers at the beginning of my chest/bench day......Engorging my arms with blood and fatiguing my triceps would make my chest muscles HAVE to go all out to move the weight......now of course by doing this you will have to lower the weight dramatically......but a month of this and then going back to your normal (BenchPress-first) routine you should overcome this....Good Luck.
