-START working your chest once a week along with your other body parts: legs, back, etc.
-when you work your chest, work your chest first, and the smaller muscles 2nd.

so that sthe first time you've ever done the bench press? Then thats probably why you cant lift much on it. How did you train the chest in the 2 years you've been lifting or didnt you train it? If you didnt train it then thats why you cant lift much. You have to train all muscles!
