It's my joints when I go back behind my head, I can't do behind the head military press either. The machine is o.k. but I don't think it is as effective but, then again I don't fit into machines real well, I'm 6'5".

I have been toying with my chest workouts and actually all of them lately and i have come up with my solution....
Total Muscle Failure
You destroy the muscle evry drop you take, i have been training for 5 years. This is by far the most i have ever gotten sore and pumped from lifting. I can only imagine doing this kind of routine on an intense cycle....wheew

Personally, I think there is no one perfect workout. It must always change and evolve. Plus everyone is different and responds differently to different rep ranges.
You can also change your tempo.
I also think you need to warm up more to have a better workout.
I personally do 4 warm up sets or pyramid up to a work set depending on the type of workout I am doing.
But I do believe doing inclines first is a great idea most of the time. Since this usually most peoples weak point.
Personally if I did your workout my tris would be getting a lot of work. Thats why I always try to do an isolation exercise second or third. But this is an individual thing.

I'm with Beezers on this one. The pecs really aren't a big muscle group, so I think that doing a lot of sets is overkill. If you're looking to add size, 6-8 heavy working sets has always worked best for me (working, as in don't count warmup sets), in the 6-8 rep range. I've grown most from doing 3 sets of flat bench, 3 sets of incline D-bell presses, and 2 sets of heavy pec dec to finish. just make sure that you always have a spotter on the first two exercises, because the weight should be enough that you need a spot on the last rep...NEVER stop a set before you need help on the last rep!
