I dont think that I'll ever get to 3-plates bench but I'll be more than satisfied if I ever get to 250+.
Congrats, welcome to the club! Try pushups with one hand on a small medicine ball. Worked well for me. My strength/endurance shot up, too. I just finished a program, and I think I used to be able to do 225 maybe five or six reps, but today (first day back to "normal" routine), I did 12, 8, 6. I was surprised my 2nd and 3rd sets dropped that much, though.
