I have been stuck on these weigts for a long time. How should i be training for raw strength?

Take the bench. Warm up and do the sets as usual. At the end after a wee rest go for 1RM (1 rep max's) If u do 100 kg for reps try 120 kgs for 1 rep. Each week increase this. Dont do too many as there is an injury risk. Every other week is good. It really is more of a confidence thing IMO.
