are you doing westside? if so then follow their suggestions of working your weakest link to become stronger overall.

stop benching for a while and incorporate partials, when you come back you'll be stronger on the whole bench. go to elitefts.com and look up the basic westside program, it will help you greatly."The greatest obstacle to knowledge is not ignorance but the illusion of knowledge." -Barry Marshall, Nobel Laureate

i sure as hell wouldnt do the above. takes too long.
why not slowly progress in terms of the number of total reps you perform during each flat benching session. Wether you are performing 4 sets of 8 write down that u performed 24 reps. The next time try to get 26, then the next time try beating it by 2.. until you see that youve broken the desired 8-10 rep range on all your sets. so your doing about 11-12 reps every set. Then add 5 lbs on the bar.. and start the process again.
2.5 lbs plates are your friends
