      Whenever I work out my chest, I am finding the same thing happens every time, I do two heavy sets of something, like DB incline 90's for 10 then 100's for 7, then I cant put up 135 on BB decline more then 10 times becuase my triceps are so dead. I feel like its hurting my chest workouts. What can I do to get this to stop, or get my tris to keep up?

      Your DB incline bench is going to give you a greater range of motion and cause the use of more stablizing muscles since each arm is independent. Thereby, the DB movement is more effective at targeting the chest, anterior delts and triceps. If you're concerned about your triceps burning out then isolate your chest first with a DB fly or similar movement which requires predominately the chest muscle. Then when you start your compound movements (i.e. bench, DB bench, etc...) your triceps should be fresh. My 2 cents.

      I dont see the problem here.. u're going REAL heavy on a bench lift and then u cant do another bench lift? Those 2 heavy sets on that db inclines should be enough to stimulate the tris and chest for most people for a workout and the rest of the work should be light accessory work

      however, try doing tricep pushdowns for 25-100 reps... this should help your your endurance fiber

      I do tris on a separate day then chest. This helps me to build better strength and mass on them thus, helping my chest on chest day.

      Well, what do you need more, upper or lower chest? If it's lower, then start with lower, if it's upper then you are doing fine. IMO, if you do two ball busting sets then you shouldn't be that strong on your next exercise. If you truly push the pecs past failure on two sets of any pec exercise, all your following pec exercises will suffer slightly. If not, you aren't training ahrd enough. If you need total pec developement then I'd suggest you alternate what exercise you do first each week. Incline this week, decline next week. With that said, I never personally liked decline bb. I like decline db and dips for lower pecs. My favorite is a superset of decline db press/decline db flies. That just destroys my lower pecs. I only use it about once a month. The rest of the time I just do straight sets with some kind of beyond faliure technique like rest pause, negatives or forced reps.
      I used to have superhuman powers....until my therapist took them away.
