    I used to have this problem as well and I blame it on bad form. If your arms arent posistioned in the proper place then benchpressing will hit your delts more than your pecs. Just play around with the angle of your arms and see where you can possition them so than your pecs are getting worked, not your delts.

    Eliminate bars and use d-bells. Roll the shoulders down and back, and concentrate on accentuating the chest by pusing it up. Use a weight that is "pec friendly", meaning the pec is doing the work, NOT the front delts and triceps. Form is everything for a good chest!

    A weight that you are able to keep good form with.

    Anything not heavy.. well at least not too heavy for you at your stage, your trying to work the intended muscle not only trying to push weights around.

    wide grip about 8 inches from shoulder I guess somtimes farther..ive tried varied grips..it seems this happens curling to..with dbs or bar with preety good form also full extensions Ive been doing that swole curl I read on here too..that **** is awesome I get huge pumps and dropin the last one is like droppin a truck..so wtf..Dont get me wrong my biceps get worked out good but like I said my delts burn on almost everything I do...could it be I should just target them in an all out assault? It seems to try to be happening anyway..maybe they just arent as strong as the rest of me?..funny thing is..I dont have any pics but they look like one of my better assets
