I know it's not the same as real benching, but I can overload the muscles safely with much more weight than I can do on the flat bench.

It's been translating to a little progress, but I'd like to do more.
Do a 5x5 routine. 5 set of 5 reps heavier weight. It will take progressive overload, time, and proper nutrition. What are your current stats now?
