Sounds like you're doing it right
Some shyt just takes awhile. If you can only do one, do that one rep every time you're at the gym....or everytime you walk past the bars.
Gotta agree with most in here.....bench is my worst as well. I've been able to DL 405 and squat 335 for a couple years.....and I JUST hit 225 on bench.
My problem is that I never lift with a partner and hate asking random dudes for a spot. Should get over that I suppose

It's taking me forever to bench above 5x5 bodyweight.

Slappin and clowning chumps for fun.
Bench press shyt is fukking irritating all my other lifts seem to go up weekly lol fukking bench either goes down for reps or stays the same
On a cut now and when I was 220 I hit 225 for 15 and hit 315 for one
Down to 205 now and my bench for 225 is at 9 and I don't even know what my max is any more and don't want to know
But when I bulk back up in the fall and winter my bench gonna be crazy

MOHP are a muffuka to progress on especially strict style pressing (no leg drive/ push press flex) overhead.
Oh yea Bench Press is another one, progress is never fukking linear in comparison to other big lifts.
I'm convinced in order to have a GOOD heavy ass bench session you need to make sure you drink Unicorns milk & sniff pre workout before bed & make sure you get them 8 hours + your Chi/Zen life bar gotta be full coupled with a positive horoscope read that day otherwise its a wrap beyond 2PPS on the bench

Pullups are hella dependent on body weight too. U making good progress though and doing them often.... not really much more u can do but eat and sleeppullups

I usually do them weighted to for 5x5 and then a drop set to general failure at body weight. Seems to help.pullups

Have to be squats for me. I'm moving up in weights every so often, but it's slower than my other lifts. I was the typical leg day skipper for years before I decided to do a full body routine, so my leg strength is behind my upper body.
Surprised to see so many struggle with the bench press. I really think it's a mental hurdle to jump with benching. Years ago I would struggle to do 225. Once I surpassed it, and got over that mental part, I've been able to do more reps and add more weight every few weeks.

Getting comfy with 225 has helped, but for me bench is by far the hardest gaining lift, and the first to go if I'm sick or in a deficit or w/e. Like right now I'm 2 months deep in a cut, lat pulldowns/chins are where they were (or even a little higher), squats are down 10lbs, shoulder press is about level, bench is down like 15 lbs. Bench feels the heaviest too. Its bizarre

Land, water, wherever.
Lat Pulldowns, Chin Ups 
incline bench. I dont have a problem with it...but its hard getting past 195 for reps.
Same way I feel about flat dumbbell press. If I do the flat dumbbell press first...i can crank out weights...but if I do it second in the workout, its damn near impossible for me to go over 75 lbs
everything else i'm laughing.
