    At what frequency ? Push / pull / legs / off , so every 4 sleeps you hit push again ?

    If so , 8 sets pressing is fine , and your order is fine for the first one .

    What tells you it’s absolutely fine though is your lift progressions , if your progressing all your lifts, you have the green light .

    yeah you are right i hit push every 4 sleeps.

    swap out machine chest press for pec deck. U have too much pressing. I would do it like this:

    Incline press

    Shoulder press

    Pec deck

    Laterals

    Close grip bench

    Tricep extension

    is it still possible to get my bench stronger cuz i wanna hit 180kg

    It’s likely just too many sets and that , stop doing the partials first and see if that changes

    Im doing 6-8 sets for chest every week is that to much?

    Chest volume is too high for the frequency , very normal for chest to stall , hamstrings second most common for the same reason

    Could it be a problem if you take every set till failure + partial reps?

    Hey! Have you tried placing your chest press earlier on in the session to see if this makes any difference?

    Hello, I always start my days with my chest press movements.

    Hey buddy, what split are you doing? What are your rep ranges? Are you varying them? How frequently are you doing the same movements?

    Hello, I am currently doing pplrulr and my rep ranges are 5-9 reps. i do the same movements every week like i do incline smith bench on my upper days and incline hammer strenght press on my push days.
