I'm 5'10 - 175 lbs - 36 years old.
For me, I think 225 bench, 275 squat, and 315 deadlift is ideal. 8-10 reps for all.
I'm at my bench goal (225), squatting 245, and deadlifting 275.
I can't imagine I'd ever need to bench more than that, and for a guy who's 36, I think those are respectable numbers.

my bench press is weak af. my max is 225, 1 rep, 
. I want to do more but idk how to increase my rep count so i can do more than reps. my max on the squat is 295, 4-5 reps,
i'm 6'1- 185 lbs- 20-22 years old

For me, doing 300 pushups a day made my bench strength skyrocket. Give it a shot for a week and report back.
bench is overrated...my bench press is weak af. my max is 225, 1 rep,

The sooner you realize that the better. Now if you were talking about deadlifts or squats, then that's something to be proud of...
what about incline bench press? my dead-lifts is about the same amount as my squats.
high elevated push-ups or low elevated? what would be the recommend sets, reps, recovery time, for the pushups? i might try to increase my push up count to 500 a day.
Actually incline and decline are good in my book.....

Uhm, just regular I guess.
I do continuously delimited sets. 50, 50, 40, 40, 30, 30, 20, 20, 10, 10.
Recovery time is something I suck at. I need to get consistent with it so I don't really have guidance for you there but I try to get this done in 30 - 45 mins. This combined with some light cardio is what I do on off days.

You should check my thread about the calisthenics and the way I used to work out when I was incarcerated.
It would help you
this year would consider to be my first time lifting.
