Losing A Pump During Chest Workout?

[JJ1050]

My Routine

4x8-12 - Incline Press
4x8-12 - Flat Press
4x10-15 - Flat Flys

Ok, so pretty much every time on my chest day I'd get a good pump after a few sets of my first exercise, then move onto the next compound exercise and the pump gets better/bigger, but as soon as I move to my isolation movement (flys) my pump completely goes, my chest becomes flat and when I tense it, it doesnt seem as hard as it usually is before I even start my full workout and it just makes me feel like **** lol...I do get sore over the next 2 days and I make SLOW strength gains but im thinking could I be slowing down my growth in my chest because it actually is my most lagging muscle, everything else grows faster?

go heavier and drop reps and work yourself up.

Muscle pump does not equal growth. If all you want is a pump then just do countless drop sets.

If you are gaining weight, growing and getting stronger on the exercises then there's nothing to worry about.

I go as heavy as I can and pretty much go to failure every set

Llama's right. Don't judge your work outs by your pump. Track your measurable gains like strength and size.
