How about the heavy weight and low weight change up? I do exactly what BigSexy said, but I switch between a heavy eight week cycle and then change to low weights for two weeks. Or is this not a good idea? Not my thread but if it is correct then it will be.

Sweet I was doing it right all along. I see your point with the pullovers though, not really targeting the pectoral muscles. So I should switch to:
Incline bench
Flat Bench(wide grip)
Incline Flyes
Weighted Dips
Alternate between heavy and light(sling shot)
Alternate db every two weeks
Pay attention to equal growth and if needed throw in decline press
I like the db and bb switching, read that db allow for more growth because they target the muscles fibers better because you have to maintain the stability of the db
Not trying to steal your thunder ArnieFan but this could kill to birds with one stone. Hope you do not mind.

incline bench and flat DB presses.

Here's my suggestion to you- Stick with barbells only until you get to the 2 week prime (light). Use the dumbell for incline and flat presses when high reps (12-15) are to be used. Lifting heavy dumbells in akward positions can rip a tendon or cause joint problem,especially in the elbows. Arnold had the best chest of all and he used a barbell for his chest presses!
For chest during 8 week blast (heavy)
1) Flat bench barbell press- 3 sets
2) Incline barbell press- 3 sets
3) Dips- 3 sets
4) Incline flyes- 3 sets
