Back off around 10%. Then you can take up to two weeks to get back up to the previous level depending on the increments. 10 or 15 lbs probably wouldn't allow enough recovery at the weights your working with.

Say for bench at 225 you'd get 22.5 pounds for a backoff...so say 25. You could just add 5 pounds to that every workout bringing you back up to 225 in 5 workouts with the 6th workout being a hopeful jump in weight past the previous. You could make bigger jumps but I don't think 10 pounds would work and even if it got you going you would probably stall again faster. Basically what you want is to rest up and recuperate so you'll be less "tired". But you don't want to drop the weights too far and you don't want to take too long or too short a time building back up. Three weeks may be too long and one week may be too short.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
