OK, now to the problem/challenge... when I was on my old routine I go stuck at benching 215X6 for about 4 weeks in a row, then I started doing the second routine and got up to 225X6, 4, 4, then I got sick and took a week off.

When I came back I could only get 225x5, 3, 3 and I'm stuck at that for the second week in a row. My goal is to get to 225x10, 10... Then I want to work my way up to the same in Incline bench which is lagging by about 30lbs.

Question, What to do to break this platue? Any advise would help.
 
I've been trying one of those "Add 50lb to your bench" routine's, they use a 5 set routine with pyramiding the weight up.
It seems to be realy helping to get my regular Rep weight up.
It'll be something like:
2 sets at 215 for 6 reps
2 sets at 225 for 3 reps
1 set at 235 for 1 or 2 reps

I also found that my tri's and Shoulders were holding me back a bit so if you get them stronger, your chest should follow.
