Heavy weight question?

[decoboy]

As I increase the weight on my bench it doesn't feel like I get a workout any more. I have been doing the 5X5 program and I'm a month it my bench has increased by 105lbs 120-225. @ around 175lbs things started to change in the way I felt after the workout. with in an hour I feel as if I never hit the weights at all.

Should I do a few more set with less weight just to get a little more in?

Stick to the book/your chart would be my advice. "Feeling" like you worked out isn't necessary to have done good. I did a 5x5 for 1.5 years, doing both the linear and periodized versions. In fact, I just started hitting a linear program again three weeks ago. Enjoy things not kicking your ass for now, because they will again at some point. If your start messing around with the set-up, you are setting yourself up to struggle down the line, at least that is my experience.
