What does your current routine look like?

5times 5 inclined dumbell press
2 sets flat dumbell press
2 sets of weighted dips
2sets of flat dumbell flyes
thats it ,,every now and then i might add some cable cross overs and pullovers and i alternate the exercises every now and then ..peace

why no regular ol benching?

maybe 11 sets is too much.

how many times per week you benching?

how much weight you benching?

i do flat dumbell press instead of barbell bench pressing just for a change , i workout chest just once per week and my max barbell bench press used to be about 200lbs for about 6 reps ..peace

focus on getting your bench strength up and im sure your chest size will follow.

this is actually my main goal but it seems that i have plateaued and can increase my strength whatever i do ..

no no .. just read a few more threads.

a while ago when i could bench, i was plateud , and pb gave me a new routine, within a week i had gained about 30 lbs on my bench (might have been 50 lbs).

any ideas that might help??

for starters drop the 5x5. i have a full body routine posted in the deadlift sticky on page 6. check it out for ideas. also the training journal section has some good ideas on different training ideas. no one routine will yield consistant results. change must take place if you are stagnant.

is it natural for the shoulders to grow first before your chest??

why not go back to using a barbell
try doing BB bench 3x3
incline 2x12

this style of training has helped both my strength and size in the past 6-12 months
