Whats the longest it took you to overcome a pleateau?

[motionman04]

Just out of curiousity, what is the longest it took some of you to overcome a benchpress plateau? I'm just curious, since it seems like I've been stuck forever, but I've changed exercises up, so hopefully eventually I'll overcome it, but its only been about a month or so for myself, I've heard some people say they've been stuck for several months.

what else you doing besides bench press? I'm sure if you post your entire routine you'll get some helpful advice

It took me over a year to go from 385 to 405 on bench

It took me a while to get past 265. I was stuck there for a few months, then I did an over-aggressive cut and lost too much LBM. Took few months to get back to where I was, injured my shoulder body surfing at the beach. That set me back a few more months. Just recently I hit 275, and then a week or two later 285. I weigh about 10 pounds less than the first time I hit 265, and I'm a lot leaner, so I'm happy nonetheless. Hopefully I'm not stuck here too long.
