Never had aches/pain to the point i felt they hindered progress... but to each their own.

Work the weight up slowly. Grab some 2.5lb plates if you need to. Increase volume—instead of just doing 5x5 or whatever keep adding sets on the back end. I like to do a pyramid type set so my heaviest will be set 3 or 4 and then I take weight off for the last set or two. Even if you’ve done “all” your sets, just take a little weight off and work your way all the way down to 135 working towards failure.
Then just make sure you’re getting enough protein and sleep.

Made my tris stronger, supplemental exercises stronger and I did speed training - no bands just light weight. I used to be able to basically through 220lb in the air like a toy. The real fun is heading to 4 plates not eating real food.

Then again, I benefit from not being that strong for my weight. I think a lot of the hate for Smolov is that (a) the sets/reps/% are a little bit arbitrary, and (b) it's a lot of volume. So, if you're an elite powerlifter, it would be extremely difficult to recover from the work load.
What's the general program you're going to use, op? Just days/week, linear?

If you are going a real strength gain route you would likely lose.

I'm doing this to teach OP and the misc a few lessons. Mainly, I want them to learn to plan out their training better. There's no magic in programming. Its simply looking beyond the workout that you're currently doing
Look at most of the advice ITT. Do this exercise, try this rep range, move to this split. Its all based around a single workout. You can't achieve long term goals by looking 2 feet in front of your face

IMO you should be very form conscious. There's lots of small tweaks and minor differences you'll see with bench press form a lot of that is maximizing your bio mechanical advantages such as the width you grip the bar, the point at which you touch your chest (whether it be higher or lower), lat engagement, proper elbow flair, ect...
Your form may look good and may be "correct" but it may not be the most efficient for your leverages, tweaking and perfecting your form so that it becomes as efficient as possible for your body type will likely make more of a difference than any program could.

When I broke 315 it was kind of weird.
I was "stuck" at 295 (max, not for reps). One day I was maxing out at 295 and threw it up so damn easy I did a double. That got me excited so I threw 315 on the bar thinking it was "my day." Sure enough, it went up. It felt so good that I put 325 on the bar and did that too. So I went from stuck at 295 to 325 just like that. I failed when I put 335 on the bar.

When I train people, I always ask for videos every session. Minor tweaks and a lot of practicing adds up quickly

Went to gym and benched 315. Didn't record it. About to go to other gym and try to prop my phone up and do it. Couldn't do it bc I asked a random for a spot and it's not like he can video tape too (friend couldn't make it this morning). Hope Angus is Peppered
