Do 5 x 5 in your chest exercises for 2-4 weeks, then jump to 6 x 5, and 8 x 5... and then 10 x 5... for the most weight you can do... if you need help during the sets that is fine... I was always good at one rep max's with my max being 250 @ 160... But I could only get 190 x 5 when i started for all 5 sets without help... within 2 months I was getting 210 x 10... it was pretty insane... and I only went up to 165... It was pretty good.
Nice gains, I did 5x5, but only 5x5 with different chest workouts, usually starting with flat bench, it got me up 25lbs on my bench in 1 month, but unfortunately I gained that much weight as well. I guess I can do the 6x5 in 2 weeks then, I have a triset planned out to shock my routine next week. Then I'll go for 8x5 and then 10 x 5, hold on so that's 10 sets with 5 reps right.

I've never really done much with 5x5 on bench... What works best for me if I get stuck on a weight I go away from flat bench for awhile and focus on incline. I was stuck at 335 for a long time a few years ago, and I went to incline for presses for about a month and a half, and when I went back to flat bench I was pushing 385.

I gotta try that out, did you not flat bench at all or did you just change it to starting with incline, before I switched out a lot and it didn't help me but then I started using flat bench over and over to start with 5x5 did something different after and I gained.

I would start my chest day with incline, and would follow it up with a superset of dumbell flat bench and flyes. The rest of my routine would stay the same with dips, pullovers, and cable crossovers.
