chest day help

give me your thoughts on my chest exercises, also do you think im doing too much?

flys - 4 sets
machine press - 4 sets
dumbell press - 3 sets
incline machine - 3 sets
cables - 3 sets

i usually do it in that order, im not sure if thats most efficient, i aim for 10 reps on all sets, but sometimes i only get 8. Do you think i should try some different exercises, or switch the order in which i do my exercises, since flys can exhaust me right before i start doing much heavier weight for chest presses. ive been lifting seriously for 5 months so im not a good judge at my own progress. and ive been doing those same basic exercises because i got accustomed to them. well give me your input

if you feel comfortably now you can shift on over to the free weights
instead of using machines, if you feel your ready for the transition.
if you been using this same routine for those five months i'd change it now. i'd suggest incline db,decline db, and cables. each for four sets each.

waaaay too much IMO, i'd cut two of those excersizes out if you're doing 4 sets each.... 12 sets is enough!!!!

be intense and don't just go through the motions

no bench? try maybe some incline bench. then go to reg bench then flys i do that everyonce in a while incline first is great for cleavage

Here's my routine and I have been seeing good gains off of it:

Barbell Incline - 3 Sets
Dumbbell Flat Bench - 3-4 Sets
Cables - 3 Sets
Dumbell Decline - 3 Sets

Where are you flys redrock. I love the deep cuts and the stretch you get from dumbells flys..

Good call! I dislocated my shoulder about a year ago and had to change my chest routine. I keep forgetting to put them back in the rotation now. I will have to go light, but I need to strengthen that part of the shoulder and chest. REDROCK
