some days i can do 135 no problem, other days i can only get like 3 reps.
i feel my bench lacking a lot compared to my deadlifts and squats
There were plenty of times where I stalled during SS.

Here's what helped me:

-Drop sets every other week
-Focus on the ceiling, not the bar
-Touch your shirt and not your chest
-Get the right grip:

-Work on close grip bench press/shoulder press
-Suck a large amount of air into your stomach and flex abs, go down then push up, release some air at the top
