Sounds like dips were contributing to the problem though, perhaps even causing it. No need to get exotic. If you've already determined for yourself as an INtermediate lifter that you need assistance work to continue driving up your bench press, try one assistance movement as a substitute for dips for 2 months and see how it works. Close grip or DB Bench would be my first two choices, so try one of them out and see how it goes. Are you running 5/3/1?
