Hit it from all angles. Use incline flat and decline. Do the same with dumbells. Use higher reps lower weights for a few weeks and then switch back to heavy. In short keep your muscles guessing what you will throw at thm next. Welcome to FT.

Do some speed bench to get the fast twitch muscles fatigued. Do it once a week, 8 sets of 3 with 50% of your max. Try to explode the bar up and get all three reps done in under 3 seconds. Try to do some exercises to strengthen tris, chest, and shoulders to strengthen some of the individual muscles used on bench. Doing squats can help your bench as well because it helps your power.
