How do I break a bench press plateau?

Stuck at 285 pounds.

Took a break for a week and it did not help.

Weight and routine?

Work on you're back for another week, including lots of low weight face pulls, and do some dumbbell press and incline press at the same time. You'll get there man don't give up. It may take a while. Also consider a hypertrophie day on bench, I've heard it can help.

Not an OP, I'm 95 kg and can't bench 80 kg for 5x5. Fuck that shit either I'm genetic dead end or I need to seriously calculate and follow my macros and consume more protein.

Also I think my form sucks and I need to tuck in elbows.

OP Here. I am obese.

Been in a 300 calorie caloric deficit for a two months and have lost 4 pounds.

My routine, is basically
Just a push workout every monday, wednesday, and friday
>>
OP again.

Will the weight increase as I lose weight?
>>

Depends. Are you a complete beginner? How long have you been lifting? How much could you bench when you started? Have you been following a program or just winging it?
>>
>>41451066
Lifted weights for a little while off and on when I was a little lighter. Been working out since january first at least once a week. A month ago I upped the ante and started at 225.

Look man I decided I am tired of being weak. I want to be strong. Please help me break this barrier. The gym is all I have nowadays I have been so depressed.

Forget about Benching for a while and train your Inclined Press.
When you get to 285 pounds with your inclined press get back to normal bench press, i'm sure you gonna be able to do way more

Drop to 3x5
