Then add 5 pounds, do as many reps as you can. Keep adding 5 pounds until you can't lift even 1 rep. This is the same for squats and deadlifts, except you double the poundage increments. Focus on these 3 lifts, lift 6 months straight, eat normally, sleep.
Oh man, did this for the second time today and christ, I got my bench up to 175 for the last set and my Squats and Deadlift up to 225. I haven't felt beat like this in a really long time. Thanks dude!

Pretty fail of a workout all around... go look up 5/3/1, Starting Strength or Madcows. You aren't seeing strength gains because they aren't going to come. It's ridiculous to think that you can properly and efficiently do a workout with squat, deadlift, and bench press at that volume, not to mention all that assistance stuff that's just a waste of time. You need to isolate your big 3 workouts and create assistance around them...and not a buttfuck load of it, and start lifting real weight... stop with the 10 rep deadlifts at 145lbs. Day 1: Deadlift 3x5 Row 5x10 Pullup 5x10 Day 3: Bench 3x5 Dips 5x10 Decline 5x10 Day 5: Squat 3x5 Reverse Lunge 5x10 Calves 5x10 I bet you grow 10x more and lift 10x more doing that than what you are doing now.

Thanks. Should I keep doing the progressive weight from 135/145? Or should I start with more each time?

For me changing the amount of reps always helped me from plateauing for to long. Try going up in reps and then increase weight by a fair bit and go from doing 12 or 15 reps to 8 to 10. Then work your way back up.
