Yeah.
If you're working out chest structure it like:
3x8 Flat Bench @ 140 lbs.
And then do an accessory like 4x10 incline dumbbell press or 4x10 cable fly.
Then do whatever the rest of your workout is (you should have a pre-programmed schedule with sufficient volume).
Workout two would ideally look like 3x9 Flat Bench @ 140 lbs.
Workout three, 3x10 Bench @ 140 lbs
Workout four: 3x8 @ 145 lbs
Etc.
Eventually you won't be able to gain a repetition each workout, though that depends a lot on how frequently you're training and how much you're eating too. On a bulk I was able to maintain this structure pretty consistently until I hit around 185x8 but, it's going to vary from person to person based on genetics, height, weight, etc. Once you get into the 185-225 range it typically gets exponentially harder to progress and then in the 225 + range progress is usually very slow.
