warmups: 135x10, 185x4, 225x4, 275x1
1RM attempts: 295x1,300x1
flat bench work: 245x8, 245x6, 205x8 (to failure)
Incline DB's: 75'sx12, 75'sx15, 75'sx10 (last 2 to failure)
Finished with a few supersets of cable flies (working lower pecs) and pec deck.

I've never really worked with a goal of increasing my 1RM, so this is a little new to me and why I'm asking some of the meatheads here.
I would not work at 95% to 100% of your one rep max. You will hurt yourself and fry your CNS. I would lower your rep range and do some sort of 5,/3/1 cycle. You can find 5/3/1 programs online.
