Is it realistic for me to be able to add 20lbs a month in order to hit 405 on Squat and DL? If I could hit this before the summer I'd be really happy.
My bench isn't moving anywhere and its frustrating. I've started doing incline BP when I do chest in hopes that may help increase my strength along with rest/pause sets.
Any suggestions for increasing strength would be helpful. Thank you guys.

What is your height? It's realistic to an extent but you'll have to be eating.
As for bench, same thing make sure you're eating. Try pulse reps (down to your chest, up 1/4, down to your chest, full way up = 1 rep). Also saw that you don't lift shoulders? Could be your crux, don't forget about them as they are quite important.
Hard to give advice over the net without seeing how you currently lift, somtimes just adjusting your form can up those numbers. Just make sure you're diligent in critiquing your lifts.
