sorry if this has been asked before i could not find a proper answer. i've been bulking for the past few weeks. everything is going really well and my numbers are going up except for my bench press. I can really feel it hitting my chest, but when I work it out again the next session the weight doesn't increase.
This is my chest routine right now:
Bench Press:
95x8, 115x8 135x8 155x(6-8) 165x(3-5) 170x(2-4) 175x(2-4)
Tricep Head Raises
45x10 50x10 55x10
Do you guys have any suggestions on changes I could implement to fix this?
I will rep anyone who can offer help. Thanks.

Actually, is relevant. If someone weighs 110 lbs they probably shouldn't be complaining about a max of around 185. If they weigh 200+, that bench number would be poor. Same as if OP was squatting less than that
I rep back :) (measly reps)
Goals: SIZE
Bench: 295lbs
Squat: 450lbs
Deadlift: 500lbs

Too many sets, too many reps, too little intensity. If you wanna do strength, do some warm-up reps and save your energy for higher numbers and lower reps. If 175 is your max now, for example, instead of doing 1000 sets before reaching it, do 115x12 - 145x8 - 165x4, for example. Then proceed to do 175x(2-5)x3.
That's how I'd approach it.
