What's your chest routine?

Make sure you're eating right, resting up fully, and working out hard enough.

Here's my routine:
Do 4 sets of flat bench or DB bench. Switch off from week to week.

Then 3 sets of incline bench/db bench. Use db's if you used BB for flat, and vice versa.

3 sets of flies on a slightly inclined bench.

That should work for a good while.

Then you wanna try some DogCrapp stuff every once in a while.... pick up a weight and do about 7-9 reps of 8 second negatives EACH REP!! After that set, rest for 15 seconds, pick it up and do it AGAIN for as many reps as you can (which will be like 2-4). Rest 15 secononds and do it again. Then at the end do a 20 second negative, or even longer if you can. There, you should be in pain.

You need to shock your muscles every once in a while with brutal overload techniques.

My chest routine is:

Flat bench press 3-4sets of 8-10 reps(Sometimes I use a machine)

Incline bench press 3-4sets of 8-10 reps

Machine fly 4 sets of 10-12reps

It works good for me, but I switch it up a lot.

thats not weak at all.
If youve hit a wall and havent been progressing then try different things, include dumbells in your benching if u dont already, try more sets, check your diet that you're eating enough, getting enough rest e.t.c
Everyone hits a plateau, our strength doesnt just increase every workout like a linear graph.
