Normally on big compounds you eat big, lift heavy, and strengthen the agonists, synergists, stabilizers, etc. to improve the poundages on those lifts.
But during a bench press, you identify that the triceps, anterior deltoids, and chest are the prime movers. Strengthening the core will lead to a stronger bench press too, simply because a strong core means a stronger everything.
Continue eating good foods, trying to add weight, using 4-6 reps per set, 3-5 sets per session, workout those other muscle groups and you'll start seeing significant gains.

thanx for the info...........vader i picked the bench press because frankly its my favorite lift and i'm pretty heavy (255lbs) and my form on my squat and deadlift will need a lot of work but i plan on working them.Also a little side note i am a cop and got into it w/ a dude and he almost overpowered me so its a reaction to that that its time to get serious about strength.
