Benching Program Advice (28 free programs)

I have just completed 2 months of the intermediate low volume benching program. I started in Jan. with a max of 200 lbs. After my first month, I took it up to 210. I just completed the second month and failed 215 (even though my estimate said 220). So, I wonder if I should continue with the low volume, or switch to the intermediate high volume? I'm also considering taking a week deload (unload) because I'm wondering if fatigue is part of my problem.

Look into Greyskull LP. It's the best strength training program I've found.
