I have done it. What you do is keep on doing 60 untill you can take some more weight. And pick a weight where you would start to struggle at doing the 6-7 rep. keep doing that until you are able to do 15 reps and then repeat.
Plus you should do 45 mins every other day because everyday isn't healthy. Or you could alternate and do your legs in between breaks.

You need to give yourself an occasional day off. When you work out, your muscles get damaged so your body responds by rebuilding the muscle and adding a little extra to prevent the damage from happening again. This repair takes time and working out EVERY DAY is bad for that repair. Better to switch off and work legs and abs one day, chest back and arms another (or something like that). Also, you need to add more weight on the bar. If you're afraid you can't lift the weight, get a spotter. Never be afraid to ask for a spotter with a large weight. I've asked for spotters hundreds of times. Only been turned down once. I'd suggest benching 45 lbs 12 times, then 55 lbs 8 times, then get a spotter and try 75 lbs. BUT YOU NEED TO ADD MORE WEIGHT TO GET STRONGER! I bench around 300lbs right now and trying for more than I thought I could do was how I got there. Good luck!!

You only get stronger if you add more weight. You could do 60lbs for 3 weeks straight and not get as strong as if you added 10 lbs after a week of 60lbs. If your trying to get cut then go for the higher reps. If you want to bulk up add more weight.

Don't use weights every day. Have a 24 hour rest break between workouts. This is so your muscles have time to get used to it.
If you want to use the gym everyday, do cardio work on the days you are not doing weights.

Your exercising TOO much! Your poor chest muscles are not being given time to rebuild. Do three sets of 8-12 reps. rest for a day, then switch it up (bench press one day, skip day, then something different, like butterfly presses, or pushups).
Don't forgot to drink lots of water, eat really healthy/natural stuff, and get lots of rest.
