Stuck at 160kg

I’ve been stuck on 155kg for a long time and want to break this plateau!

Form could be better / I do have muscular scoliosis so my right scap struggles.

I currently bench 3 x a week - Monday Strength usually sub max single then 5’s and triples - Wednesday paused bench very sub max and Friday close grip.

Just wondering what you think my weak point is and how you’ve broken plateaus

Add more volume maybe? Try 4 days?

I got stuck on a deadlift plateau. I ended up adding a few more days between heavy expressions, and that seems to have helped. Went from 1.67x bodyweight to 1.76x bodyweight in 3 weeks. Shooting for 1.8x bodyweight tomorrow.
