thanks bro but i want to be able to bench press 315 for at least one rep but preferably more
like the getbig said^^ structure is very flawed so better try strength
it's weird that the 5x5 shit is working for leg strength but not nearly as good for bench strength
probably the same old thing we said that the less motor units the less room for improvement in neuromuscular efficiency
Dude,when something doesn`t work,examine all possible reasons and switch things up accordingly..........you`ve got nothing to lose and as long as you are still training,you will not lose size or strength.
IMO,as far as benching goes,I`d try warming up with 8-10 reps with a moderately heavy weight,then try 3X3 with a manageable poundage,followed by a set of 10 hard reps.
Start out considerably lighter than your max on the 3x3,and once you complete all 3 sets of 3,add a 2 + 1/2 to the bar and start over.
It is important to start out pretty light so that you progress fairly steadily.
Also,weighted dips,and heavy inclines should help as well as lat work(6-12 reps) and skullcrushers (5 x 10,8,5,5,12).
Just my thoughts but as I said,you`ve got nothing to lose by trying a different approach.
Once the body adapts to a certain stimulus,it`s time to switch things up just a bit or keep spinning your wheels in vain.
