Sounds silly but we can often put too much focus on a specific movement, while the way to increase strength in any area is to give your body something new that its never coped with.
For instance... have you ever done floor dumbbell or barbell press? have you ever tried heavy single dumbbell floor or bench press. The unfamiliarity of these movements can help to increase your strength very quickly. I completely understand any apprehension in not wanting to drop a staple exercise such as bench press. If you cant completely ditch the bench press keep a decline or incline press in your routine.bear in mind you only need 4 movements per muscle group. so a heavy single dumbbell floor press, dumbbell flys (thumbs out), dumbbell pullovers. and a decline bench press, would be a great change for 2-4 weeks then go back to flat bench and expect an increase in strength.
Any question or comments don't hesitate to contact me.
P.S DO NOT!!!!! START WITH PULLOVERS BE SURE YOUR SHOULDERS ARE WARMED UP WHEN YOU GET TO THIS IF YOU ARE INCORPORATING IT INTO YOUR WORKOUT.
P.S.S FOR HEAVY FLOOR PRESS DO NOT BRING WEIGHTS CRASHING DOWN AND HENCE YOUR ELBOWS AND ARMS TO THE FLOOR. KEEP MOVEMENTS CONTROLLED FOR SAFETY AND MAXIMUM GROWTH.
