Bench press routines

[RealtorinCT]

What's your typical bench press routine? How many reps, sets, and how much weight? And what's your ultimate goal?

I do this workout twice a week. First session is paused, second is touch and go (+2.5lbs)

Each set, I add weigh and drop reps (until I get to the amrap set)

1x3x135, 2x2x140, 2x1x145, 1+x145 (amrap set)

Each time I get 5+ reps on the amrap set, I add 2.5lbs to all sets. Goal is to reach a 200lb bench (currently at 180lbs).

Just to add: If you have to ask a question like this, you would be much better served by following a full, established program that covers all your bases. Even if you're a powerlifter which i assume you are given your question, look into something like wendlers 531.

Seconded. Mixing pieces of training plans is how you get unbalanced routines, or worse, people trying to combine things like Smolov bench + squat and wondering why they're getting injured.

I do a ME and a DE bench day, where the main lift on ME day rotates between bench variations. ME day is usually singles, and never really exceeds triples, and number of work sets varies, but it works up to a training max. DE day is usually triples and is light and versus bands.
Current best meet bench is 215 @ 132. Ultimate goal is the sort of thing spoken in hushed tones when no one is listening. Plus I'd hesitate to call it ultimate goal, because what happens when you get it? Then it's not an ultimate goal anymore, just an intermediate goal on the path to something greater.

I recently followed Sheiko, which has a three day a week program that has bench every day. The rep ranges varied and the amounts were based on percentage of 1rm, though stayed mostly between 60-85%. Was trying out more frequency to see if I could get my max to increase as I like to compete in powerlifting but my bench is still on the weaker side.

I follow stronglifts 5x5 and do some chest accessory work on top of that. Last session was 115lb 5x5 bench. Bodyweight is currently 112lb. Ultimate goal is to bench 225 or more for 1 rep.
