Trouble activating chest

[jacked44]

Barbell bench press is highly overrated. All I feel is my shoulders being activated. Pre-exhaust pecs with flyes followed by dumbell presses at a 30% inclince. You can superset the two exercises together as well.

Are you saying pre exhaust pecs with those movements before, Say, bench? Because wouldn't that just cause you to use your delts that much more when moving to a press?

Barbell bench is not highly overrated. It's the bread and butter of building a well balanced strong chest.
