    Increasing bench max

    So I've been lifting for over half a year now (started last august), and all my core lifts have gone up a lot except bench.

    Squat 160 > 255
    Deadlift ??? > 265
    Bench 115 > 145

    I want to know how to increase my bench so that it isn't relatively low compared to squat and deadlift.

    Thanks!
