Routine question

Ok so I'm new to this forum and haven't really been into the powerlifting so much as wanting to get stronger. I have been using a pyramid routine for almost 3 years now (switching things up every so often) and am looking to get more weight on the bench press. I weigh 165-168 lbs stand 5' 7" and my current max is only 280 lbs. I want more!! Looking for opinions on best powerlifting routines to go with. Thanks in advance.
 
Let me clarify here...... I AM NOT looking for a "GAIN 200 LBS ON YOUR BENCH IN 6 WEEKS! WE SHOW YOU HOW!" B.S. routine. What I am wanting is some honest opinions on what worked best for you to make steady gains. Not what worked the fastest but what worked the BEST. I understand that it all comes with hard work and dedication (both of which I have) so I am just looking for another routine to go with for a while to take a break from the pyramid. Thanks.
 
i have two bench days a speed day on tues and a heavy day on sat
speed day
wide grip bench 45% max 3 sets 3 reps 30 sec rest
med grip bench 45% max 3 sets 3 reps 30 sec rest
close grip bench 45% max 3 sets 3 reps 30 sec rest
(each set should take no longer than 3 sec and when u change grips still only take a 30 sec rest)
incline db 3 sets 20 reps 1 min rest
db floor darts 6 sets 6 reps 1 min 30 sec rest
tri ext w/ barbell on the floor 5 sets 8 reps 1 min 30 sec rest
cable press downs v bar 4 sets 20 reps 1 min 30 sec rest
band press down 1 set 100 reps
heavy day
warm up to 5 sets 3 reps flat bench rest as needed
board press (1,2or 3 boards depends on where im weakest at) 6 sets 4,5 reps rest as needed
floor presses barbell 6 sets 2-6 reps rest as needed add bands or chains when ready
pin presses work up to 5 sets of 3 reps (hold at lock-out for a count of 2 sec
plate raises 4 sets6-8 reps
lateral raises 4 sets 6-8 reps
rev butterflys 4 sets 6-8 reps
hammer curls 7 sets 7 reps
thats about it i do change the sets and reps up from time to time and i may take longer to rest if i feel i need it u just have to feel it out as u go but this is what i picked up from the M.M. in the short time i got to train with them
