I have been weight lifting for quite a while. I have been able to increase my max weight with most muscle groups except for my chest. My bench press is quite pathetic for my size (230lbs, 6'3" and I lift about 135-185)....any tricks or other weight lifting exercises that might help to increase my max weight I can lift that work, and might be fast too.

A little more info might be helpful here. 135-185 is a HUGE range! What is your actual max lift, and for how many reps?0

There are no tricks, as such.
Do you do standing military press? If not, put that in your routine.
As Rayman said - more information needed. Current max/reps, what your routine is at the minute.0 -
Work more triceps, and back. You'll see strength gains in your bench...0

sheer grunt and determination do it hard like a kiwi or go home Drop sets may help heaviest to fail ( who said that word ) then drop your weight and do it again all the way down to 30 odd0

This + learning proper bench technique utilising your whole body with hip drive will get your numbers up.0 -

What program are you running?0 -
Arching my back has helped me a lot.0

My barbell bench press has stalled, but I'm making decent gains in dumbbell bench press. Check to see where you're at with the DBs and that might yield more information about where you're pecs are in relation to other muscle groups?0
