That looks pretty good, My chest routine looks like this: (and in this order)

Decline Flye's (Heavy) 3 sets
Flat DB press 3 sets
Incline Flye's (Heavy) 3 sets
Cable crossovers 2 sets

I emphasize that the flye's are Heavy. I do them with my arms bent more than people usually do them. Flye's can be an enormous mass builder, If you've ever seen Dorian Yates: "blood and guts" I do them the same way he does.

If Barbell presses work for you, keep doing them!! Decline fly's will definetly add to your lower chest.

If it is your lower chest lagging i would do more decline movements.

ex: week 1 chest:
decline db press
flat bench
decline flyes

week 2 chest:
incline db press
incline flyes
decline bb press

Something like that...that was just a shitty example. But remeber variety is the key.

Oh ya...another thing...I read in a Robert Kennedy book that when doing flat bench if you want to put more of the stress on the lower chest lower the bar further down on your chest...like i lower the bar below my pecs when i bench. I don't know if it really works but I'm trying it.

decline dumbell, reeeally heavy about 4-6 reps go as low as you can and feel your lower pec stretch and contract, explode up with all your might, squeeze at the top but dont touch the dumbells together, i find it is harder on my chest if i dont; that sould take care of your lower chest. i know how you feel my chest sucks too, its getting better because i prioritized it as my first workout of the week anf i dont train any other muscles but chest that day.

my chest routine:

1- flat bench 4-6, 3sets
incline bb 4-6, 3sets
incline db 4-6, 3sets

2- decline bench 4-6, 3sets/or weighted dips (depending on mood)
flat bench db 4-6. 3sets
inclineflys 4-6, 3 sets

i always do different exercises for every workout it keeps thing interesting and shocks the shit out of your muscles.

patience is key, overtraning will only set you back more

GOOD LUCK

try this benchpresses [warmup] 1x5,1x7,1x9,1x11 do all reps with a 2second pause at the bottem allso you are working in a reverse pyramid style ,take every set to positive failure.
dips 3x8
bent-arm decline cable flys 3x15-20

plug this in on your chest days and see if your lower chest doesnt improve. but remember when you are specializing on a bodypart you need to cut back on the rest of your workout to make this effective. in my opinion drug-free trainers should only do 20-25 sets per workout no matter what bodybuilding style you use and they should never workout more than 2days in a row.

good luck with your training

That's right... Although many say that overtraining is emphasized too much, I think that for an average non-juicin' bodybuilder it is very easy to overtrain, which is probably the easiest way to stop your progress. Make sure you're not workin' out more than 3-4 times a week, no more than 60-70 minutes at once, getting a lot of sleep, and also eating properly - You don't have to count each gram and kalorie if you're about adding mass, but you definitely need to eat smart.
If the chest is what you feel needs most attention, prioritize it - put it into the beggining of the session, you can also try pre-exhaustion, focus on tempo (many people move too fast) and form. Try all and find out what works best for you. Stick to that for some time, then change your routine for couple weeks. Believe in your success. Mylo
