I'm 5'10 @185 (granted still like 18-20% BF) but I feel like I should be lifting more than this. I was doing the 45lb dumbbells for the incline db press for the same reps.

i would definitely bench press with someone experienced, the bench is surprisingly technical and improvements in form can easily add 10+ lbs. there's alot of stuff you need to account for, i.e., keeping your entire body tight, pinching back shoulder blades, building tension in your lats, bringing the bar below ur nipples,feet way behind knees etc
