Chest lagging, always has. willing to try anything!

Forget the barbell. Just pick up dumbbells for everything. You only need one heavy set. So do 2 warm up sets for each exercise and on the 3rd one... Fail between 4 to 6 reps. If your very upper chest is lacking then incline even higher, this will work shoulders too but will catch the lower insertions in your upper chest. 70% is not uncommon for me.

High incline - standand incline, flat, flys, dips. Thats all you need.

Dont use the barbell anymore. After this make sure to give your chest at least 5 days off.

austinite...so, would the two warm up sets be with a weight I can lift 10-12 reps? I really need to change my standard 3X10/12. Thanks.

I lift 8. My heavy rep fails at 4 or 5 typically. Hell sometimes 3.
