    I dont power-lift, I train up to 205-225 and thats it, Im not going much further than that or care to.

    Have you tried gripping the bar normally and extending out your thumbs on the opposite side of the bar from your fingers. I either do this or grab the bar with a crushing 'normal' grip when benching.
