Something I have people do when they're doing a static periodization routine & flat DB press is one of the lifts is to adjust the back of the bench up a notch or two. Because every progression with dumbbells is typically 10 lbs total, they're still able to "progress" every week even if it means only adjusting the bench slightly. It's very difficult to just jump up 10lbs every week. So........that's something you might want to try. You'll lose a little bit of leverage, but it's definitely not much of an incline press. That should make the same weight feel 5-10lbs more.
