How should i tweak push day to break bench press plateau?

[AubreyM]

I’ve been doing a push-pull-legs split for about six months, but I’ve hit a real plateau on my bench press. I’m wondering if maybe my push day has too much volume now, or if I should change the specific exercises for my horizontal pressing movements.

I cut push day volume by two sets and swapped one horizontal pressing move to a paused bench. After a few weeks I felt less elbow fatigue but the bench itself didn't really move.

I switched to close grip bench and floor press for a month, kept the rest of the program, and the numbers stayed flat but shoulders felt healthier.

I started checking sleep and calories and realized I was under on days I trained, so I adjusted and waited to see if it helped the press.

Do you think the real issue could be technique or shoulder mobility rather than volume?
