i didnt know what more to do after 4x6 on Flat Bench. increasing the weight would mean doing 145 lbs directly for i guess 4 sets of 4 or something. so i totalled the volume with 135 for 4x6. comes to 3240. i did 155 for 6x3. totals 2790. next week it will be 3255. the week after it will be 3720.
i hope it works out though.

Bend you arms with your elbow at your side and the plate in front of you like you're driving a race car. Then raise it up to around forehead level with your arms remaining bent. This will probalby allow more weight and be better for your shoulders as it doesn't place the front delts in a pre-stretched postion which will tend to want to pull on the joint. The way I've described, if you are not already doing it, may make it easier to progress.

ive always done them with bent arms
thanks for telling me im doing the right thing because i was just about to edit my post and ask if the way i am doing it right now (the way u described doing them) is right or not. guess i was on the right track haha

That would be more logical than introducing external support just to do more workload. Your joints have to get strong: they are like a foundation. It would make no sense to dwell on you roof (the muscles) while your foundation is crumbling and likewise it would make sense to make the foundation strong in the first place instead of propping it up while inceasing the load on it.
