Exercises for my chest/tricepts day
Hey, Am currently switching from fullbody to split, and am trying to customize my workouts to achieve maximum results. Anyway could a pro take a look at my chest/tricept day and let me know if it's enough/not enough or if there will be conflict with other muscle groups from the certain exersizes later on through the week whilst blasting another bodypart. Thanks in advance. Pardon the spelling.
Siddy

You don't have anything for the clavicular head of the pecturalis major. I would recommend inclines for that. pullovers are much more of a latissimus dorsi exercise. Fly's are not good on their own. Try 4 sets of flat and incline, 12 10 8 6.
For tris, just a couple sets of pbar-dips or close grip bench should do the trick.
For abs, just work that with legs, or do situps on a decline bench with a weight plate.

If you are able to keep your arms internally rotated enough to keep elbows close enough to your side then you are taking stress of the AC joint area, but if you bench press like 99% of the world then your arms are externally rotated with an outside of 90 degree elbow angle then you are putting huge stress on the AC joint area therefore the clavicular head of the pec major would be getting ample stress wouldn't it?

It can if you lower the bar more around the collar area rather than the lower chest. Of course the whole chest gets worked in both flat and incline, it just changes the focus.

In other words...Tight grip bench and Wide grip bench.
Incline bench, incline dubbell presses and also, my favorite, incline cable crosses

I would add another pressing movement for your chest like inclines as mentioned above. Personally I would do the flys before the pullovers and I would add weighted dips as an alternate to the pullovers from time to time.
For Tris, I would switchout one of the movements you listed (maybe the last one?) and replace it with something like rope pressdowns - a movement you can focus a lot on contraction. Just my 2 cents.

Weighted dips are one of my personal favorites for both chest and tri's maybe try throwing those into the mix
