    I love supersetting flyes with bench. Puts more volume on pecs compared to tris. Triceps get their own workout--no need to give them equal time on the chest.

    I would add leaning forward dips and DB flat bench.

    I agree on adding something else--dips or hammer press for me.
    But save the dumbbell presses for your next alternate chest workout--dumbbell chest day.

    I'll make a post here but what I'm saying is general: do exercises that work for you! Everybody says you gotta do deadlifts on back day, dips for chest etc. I've done close-grip benchpresses and skullcrushers for months and months for my triceps because they're the "mass building exercises". Well I've switched to exercises that I like best and grew more in a month than I had in a year. The only one who can criticize your routine is you, because you're the only one who's feeling the muscle work/not work so well. It's ok to take some general advices from other people on here, but in the end, experiment and finds what work best for you... even if it's 20 sets of cable-crossovers and that people say "bleh only one exercises... bleh 20 sets are too much... bleh you can't have a chest routine without bench" etc, if that's what makes your chest grow the most, then so be it.

    Good question. How about you try weighted push-ups with some push-up handles?

    There are a couple of ways:

    1: use a corner in the kitchen where you can face the corner and grip the edge of the counter on either side, dip as usual

    2: move the coffee table away from the couch (or any thing at comparable height that can support you), face away from the coffee table and put your palms on it at shoulder width.. prop heels on other surface and dip so that you go below the height of your hands.
