I have a problem with my bench press: I can only get 180lbs 4 sets of 8 reps. No matter how much I have tried , I cant get passed 180 I can get 225 off the rack but cant go all they way down.. I have a pretty good diet of proteins and carbs. My deadlifts are way up. 500lbs 4 sets of 8 as well. Squats are lower but are good aroun 425lbs. I can get good weight but cant seem to get my bench press up as. Even military presses are up 150lbs. I am 6foot 5 and weigh 220lbs.
 
Change your routine. What is your current routine?

For a strength routine, I'd drop down to even say reps of 4-6 just to change it up.

Where is your grip?? A wider grip will eventually allow you to get stronger, but initially alot of guys get weaker because of the change.

What is your entire workout split looking like. It could be diet and workout related.

I can show you a few tricks/tips to help, many of us can, but we need more info.
