My weak point is at the bottom,

If your weak point is at the bottom, it's your lats that are the problem. Work on rows, chins, and more rows.

Try some suspended bench presses. If you have access to a power cage, set the safety bars at a point where the barbell would be just above your chest. Start from the bottom position, press up, and lower the barbell back to the safety bar.

If you don't have access to a cage, try paused bench presses. Lower the back to your chest, STOP, and then press.

Nice, I was thinking about trying these never knew of a name for them.

I've decided to go to 5x5 strength program, the other thread got me interested. I need to change things up!
