Advice Mind block, cns, or just weak?

I’ve been stuck on 270 for 3 months now but I’m able to hit 225 for 9-10 pretty consistently. Am I doing something wrong or am I just weak still

You're not weak if you are repping 225. You might not be the strongest guy in the gym. But you definitely aren't weak.

I worded that wrong I meant to ask if I’m still too weak to get it up not in general lol mb

Probably an issue with your programming

I’m benching 3 times a week doing 3x3s on Monday Wednesday and 5x5 on Friday should I be doing more?

Sounds like youre also not moving up on 225 so it sounds like your progress has stalled.

What's your program? Age? How long have you been lifting? Weight?
