heading to gym, how's this chest workout look

fog

futile amnesiac
hey guys. heading out the door in about 30 minutes, gonna try a new chest workout today. what do you guys think? weights will all be relatively heavy.

4x8,6,6,4 decline bench

3x6 flat db press

2x First Choose a weight in which you reach failure at approximately 8 reps. Follow this with one rest pause. You should rest long enough to allow yourself to get 3-4 extra repetitions. As soon as you reach failure strip the weight down to a point in which you can get approximately 6 more repetitions. Follow this again by a rest pause that allows you to eek out a few extra repetitions

2x8 weighted dips

2x12,10 incline flys

should i do dips or flyes first? is this too much? thanks.
 
why decline first??? you should hit your compound that hits the full chest...then isolate the other parts of the chest...

i do bb flat bench 3x4-7
incline bb or db 3x4-7
weighted dips 3x4-7
then incline db flies or cable flies 2x8
 
only reason for decline first is that this is a new routine i am trying as my lower chest is lagging quite a bit. though i definately see and like your logic on hitting the compund first then isolating. what you have listed is similar to what i've been doing for a bit too long now, so looking to change it up. any other suggestions out there? pretty much have everything except hammer strength at my disposal. thanks.
 
I like to start with inclines. Not a large angle either maybe 30 degree. #2 on the benches at my gym.

And I never use BB.

inclines 3 x 8-10
flat 3 x 8-10
cable flies 3 x 10
weighted dips 2-3 x 8-10
