NORMALY people mix a push major and a pull minor together for a work out.

That would explain why my chest doesn't get anywhere near as sore as my triceps do. I just figured it was me being weak as hell. lol

IMO if you are training alone you arent doing enough volume..
i do 2 warm up sets on bench. and then 3-4 Work sets.
4 sets incline.. 4 sets peck deck.. and then once im done with the work out completely ill hop on the Decline machine and do sets of 10 till i fail completely.

You need a decline bench! I've given up flst bench and do 4x of incline 4x decline and 3x flys on a 5 dag split

I almost never decline.. it fucks up my rotator cuffs.. Flat bench is the defacto standard for Moving weight on your chest. the rest is just fluff IMO.

As I understand it, declines are more a shaping anyways. I also feel them more in my shoulder cuffs than I do my chest.

Tonight I'm going to do back/bi's and might throw in more triceps if I have time.
