I go up in weight but keep my reps at 15.
This and I do heavy one week and light the next. On light week I don't rest as much.

Kept your reps in the power range: 5 to 6. Also keep your sets at 5. Print a spreadsheet out so you know how much you will lift in each set before you enter the gym. The worst problems I see people have at commercial gyms are bad programs and no set progression of the poundage they will lift in each training session.

Not now bruh, I'm in the f**king zone.

My app says I would come in about 1.35 or so
I think I can do more, but will probably never try

I know I can't do the one rep max on my app.

Best ever was 305/185 = 1.65
However that was a couple years ago, my days of lifting heavy are over. Being able to hit 225 for 8-10 reps is good for me.

If I were you I would do only flat bench 5 sets of 5 on Monday and Friday. The excessive volume you see printed in magazines is counterproductive for natural lifters and beginners. No need to do any incline presses.

Incline doesn't hit your chest a different / necessary way than flat?

My smash factor is 1.498

Like you said, the number of sub 200 lb men who bench 300+ on the OT is astounding.
Must have really short arms and, even with that, bounce it a little.

I am 5'11. I could no longer play football so put all my energy in the gym, use to personal train. I was only able to maintain that for a couple months, to much fricking work. Hell I can barley motivate to get myself in the gym 3 times a week now.

5'9 and have been working out 10 yrs. took a couple yrs off in between.
I dont bounce off. If you want to build max, super set your inclines.
My number is 1.8. When i was in college i was max 305 at less than 160. Watched another guy who was 152 max 320 in a college lift conpetition.
Its not unheard of. Just takes time and hard work
