Ok to preface I maxxed about 1 week n half ago and the highest I went was 250, absolute max probably being 255-260. I have been running smolov jr program for a few days and the program ends in around 2 weeks. My birthday is in a month and a half. So if smolov doesn't get me to the 275 area I still have some time to increase it. Will I reach it (or more than)?
Edit: Forgot to mention some details, I'm 5'11 & 178 lean.

Yeah, you might be able to do it. 250 at 180 isn't too bad especially being 14. Seems like you might have the genetics to be able to lift heavy.

yea my strength is solid, but my physique i would say is where my genes mostly went. for my age i would say i have a top tier physique, my only lacking muscle is my back which is very stubborn to grow

Does your gym have a t bar? t-bar rows felt amazing to me and made my back grow very nicely. Do a fuck ton of heavy rows.

my main issue is i have no crunches or eos near me, those seem to have a lot of stuff. i have on decent gym about a 20 minute drive from me but I've looked everywhere and don't have much near me

Idk, but force bulk your self. More mass means you can move more. Although it comes with the cost of you not being lean

I use KG here, force fed myself from 70kg to 85kg in 1 month. Broke plateaus on the three lifts. And now I'm back to 77kg, only Bench and Dead improved while my Squat regressed

i am bulking, but not as hard as i used to. mainly because i want to have an impressive distance between my bench and bw. don't wanna be 200lbs throwing up 275 lol

Good thoughts there.
However, weight to weights lifted ratio may seem unimpressive if you gained a bit more weight, and focusing on your goals which to achieve it in a month and a half, then it could be quite difficult and requiring you to exclusively train Bench only

Thus, I'd suggest that you to keep on following the Smolov and dedicate your days to only focus on your bench
