    Chest Lagging... Help?

    I have noticed that my chest is currently lagging in strength and muscle. I've been lifting about 10 months now and most of my body has grown quite alot except my chest? My strength has went from starting 50kg to 70kg but that happened pretty quickly in the first few months and then it just stopped? my routine is..

    Bench press 4 sets - rep range 6-12, weight is bar plus 20kg each side then drop down
    incline dumbells 4 sets - 6-10, weight is 17.5kg per dumbell then pyramid up to 22.5kg
    flat flies 3 sets - 8-12, weight is 10kg
    incline flies 3 sets - 8-12, weight is 10kg

    every second chest day i have i do dumbell flat, and also i cant do incline barbell as my gym doesnt have one.
    any ideas??

    start with a different chest exercise than what you normally do? Maybe add in some decline. Change your sets/rep scheme, are you eating enough food? Do you count your macros or atleast your calories?

    You've got to switch it up; I used to switch between barbell and dumb bells every two weeks.

    You could try really high rep sets after your working sets ?

    don't drop the weight, increase it and rep range should be between 10-12 not 6-12
