LOOKING FOR ADVICE; bench press 100kg 1RP

Male, 31yo, 64kgs here.

In July 2025 I started bench pressing with the goal of hitting 1RP at 100kg. Last month, July 2026 I was able to do it but my form was completely off, back was arched, butt not on the bench. No spotter needed though. Anyways, still a light victory. I tried again last week, but needed a spotter and could not get the barbell up from my chest.

Any advice on when to try again, and what to do now in my chest sessions to build up again?

Thanks!
