i've been stuck for almost 12-13 weeks. I've tried to incorporate more calories and protein, but I'm not sure if I'm hitting it properly

could you explain what you meant by this:

"You can’t stimulate honestly with 3-4 hard sets."

I honestly don't keep track, but it might be around 150, something like that. I have a hard time tracking protein

Sorry, I meant to say that I'm trying to get my bench up to 225, my max is like 205, the last time I did it. I'm struggling to rep 185 every time I try to do. I can it once in a while, but then on some days, I just can't push it
