I had my bench up to 340 in mid June. I am 37 and weigh 190. I have worked out consistantly, but I do not think too much. I train bench once a week with compound heavy movements. My weights have been slipping for the last two months and then a freefall for the last 45 days. What can I do to reverse this trend?

Protein supplements could help...

Why don't you try lifting as much as you can get for 3-5 reps. Do three sets of these, and continue until you can get to 6-7 reps the first time. Then add weight.

More protein. Work all the support and connecting muscles. Do incline bench and flys and core and lats and military. Avoid rep fatigue. Vary it up a lot more. Hard days, easy days, high reps, high weight.

Eat good stretching before and after working out, and do push-ups every night

Maybe you're just getting old. Can't keep that up forever.
You could try a product called "NO-Xplode". I loved it.

Rest, rethink and refocus the attitude.
