What's the deal

Need some advice from you guys. My bench has been going up very well in the past few months. I get stronger every workout. I do powerlifting sets for bench doing 10,8,6,5,5,3, usually on my last set I can finish with 325 for 3 yesterday on my bench day I only got 315 for two. This is the first time I've gone down in months. Do you think I just had a bad day or should I lay off bench for awhile and substitute something else

Don't ever let one day dictate your workout routine. You just had a bad day. Your gains will level off eventually, but that will be when you plateau for say three weeks straight. Once that happens, then it's time for a change up.

Focus on your secondary exercises for a little while, just to give
your mind a break, then your bench will kick back in!

i would go with changing up the reps you perform, if you do the same thing for too long a time your progress will diminish. go here: http://weightrainer.virtualave.net/spreadsheets/powerlifting.html
