Default Increasing the weight!!

Hey everyone!, im new to this site, cant wait to get it cracking and getting some extra knowledge.

So im 20 years old, 171 pounds, 6 foot 2, been working out for about 2 years, i was originally 140 when I began working out, so my improvements are quite great in my opinion (31 pounds)

1 Rep Max Bench press: 205 lbs

1 Rep Max Squat: 275

1 Rep Max Deadlift: 295

Ive been stuck on these weights for some time now, especially the bench press, i find it increasingly dificult to up/ add weights to all my lifts, my reps seem to constantly be around the same, with maybe 1-2 extra reps FORCED on some occasions.

I generally always train to about 95% failure on my bench press, and usually max out to failure on my squats. I know my genetics are not the best, as I did previously have quite a lanky body, but it is improving as im pushing myself tremendously.

My main question here is just to get some insight, even the smallest comment would be appreciated, to just perhaps give me a basis or an idea on how i can get my 3 major lifts skyrockerting in pounds and increase the overall weight i can lift.

Thank you!!

Ps. I am currently cycling on creatine mono and taking weight gainer shakes after my workouts (yes i know i should be taking them twice- three times a day, just doesnt happen all the time)
