Not sure what I should switch up. Might do dumbbell inclines for a bit instead.

Appreciate it, bro!

My flat bench was stuck on ~225-235 for 3 (5 on a good day) just a few months back. During my recent cut (started in early March), I watched some powerlifting videos and took up their form (mainly the back arch and slightly closer grip). While losing weight, my bench went up to 275x3 in 3 months. If you don't already do so, I highly recommend it.

Similar story for inclines...by the end of my cut, I was hitting 205x6 on incline bench, but was too afraid of upping the weights. Finally decided to man up and now made it to the 2-plate club

You are an absolute animal, dude! Just out of curiosity, what're your squat/DL/OHP like?
