Bench press routine improvements

[Hasdemi]

I'm looking to improve my bench press and I put together a little routine
I'm going to up my bench pressing from two times a week up to three times a week
Was thinking of going tue, friday and sunday.
I’m gonna do a more heavy workout on tuesday and sunday. 3x5 lifting, including flat bench, incline, decline and dips
Then on friday move to more 3x10 high repetitions and also do some pushups with 45 pounds on my back
do you think this could work for me? I'm a young guy I'm only 21 years old and I can't bench very much my Max right now is 135 lb

You should do a lot of negatives and push bench more.

bros you should do more close grip bench

 

[ROIDDERS]

do close grip and wide grip will make your bench go up

 

[Quadsweep]

doing a lot of dips helps benching

 

[Ulter]

more bench press and you get stronger
