Best Way to Increase Bench Press Reps
A lot of guys aim at increasing the poundage they can put up in the 
bench press, but before you can kick up the poundage you have to 
first increase your reps.  In fact you don't want to jump the weight
up too fast – you first have to master the current weight range. And
to master it you need to beat it at the repetition range that is 
higher than just a few reps.
	
One More Rep 

The best way to boost your rep count is a combination effort of 
mental and muscle.  You have to aim at getting one more rep at least
every other workout.  Trying to get one more rep every workout is 
noble but you may fail, and that may discourage you to a great 
extent. Instead, aim at bumping up the rep count every other workout.
If you currently are getting five reps, then your immediate target 
is six reps. 

Put everything you have into getting that extra rep.  And do the same
thing on the succeeding set. Push up the rep count across the board. 

Patience 

This approach of pumping up your rep count by aiming at increasing 
your reps at least every other workout requires patience while your 
body catches up with your goals.  Remember, your body has to carry 
the load so your mind may want that rep count but you have to get 
your body there too, and that takes a little time.

You also have to be patient in not jumping the gun and increasing the
weight load just to have a higher poundage.  Wait on the weight load
until you reach your target rep range, be it 8 or 10 or something 
else, before moving the poundage upward.
