How are you tris? if you chest is lagging it might just be you triceps. Try some close grip bench press. Hope that helps

Another person was asking about chest routines and I posted a response, you can check it out here:

Also for your situation you may want to try some new shock principals(drop sets, negatives, partails, supersets, german volume training). Feel free to IM me if you want help on coming up with a workout.

it could be any number of things but just as a suggestion think about your shoulders. If your shoulder workout falls right before your chest workout, it could be that your front delts are giving out b/c of fatigue. Also it could be your triceps as mentioned before.

too much volume IMO.

try this routine:

3 sets flat dumbbell press
3 sets incline barbell
3 sets weighted dips

a lot of the time it isn't the chest that's lagging, its shoulder or tri. If you have a weakness in overhead press or fail towards the lockout of your bench, rethink your weakness.
