    Your brain decides which muscles to recruit when u tell ur body to do a certain movement. These movement patterns get repeated and reinforced everytime u go thru that particular movement. So right now when u push ur body is recruiting those anterior delts more so than ur pecs. What works for me is to isolate and activate that pec before you press. Do some cable flyes in front of a mirror and stare directly at ur chest while u do them. This gets your neuromuscular system recruiting the pec and really establishing that connection btw the brain and pec so when u push ur chest will be recruited. Also watch some vids of the pros on their chest day and pay attention to how they press, its almost as if they are pushing their elbows up not thru their hands. They dont go all the way up to lock out because as u press further away from your body the emphasis moves from your chest to the deltoids then to the tricep.
