chest 3 times a week? I'd say twice is more than enough if you're not training like a 7 year old :-)

maybe you're not making any gains cause you don't even give yourself time to recover

Ive been lacking in my chest so ive really picked it up this past month. Is this adequate for good gains? Advice and constructive criticism would be appreciated.

3 times a week everything is 4 sets of 8-10
I use enough weight to be about a rep away from failure each exercise.

Incline bench
Flat bench
Flat flys
Decline flys
Flat DB press (if i have time)
Decline DB press (if i have time)
Idk what its called but i lay flat on bench with a DB and lower it behind my head.


Too much volume if you do it all
Too many days a week

Flat
Incline
Fly
Pullover

No need to bench with bb and db

I train hard and ive made noticeable gains in the past month but that could jus be cuz i was lacking.
/e also ive never really felt fatigued or sore the next day (unless i take a few days off) or any other signs of OT.. i also get plenty of rest.

being sore or not being sore don't really mean anything as far as if you're going to grow or not

just stick with basics and switch up the rep ranges, maybe toss in heavy heavy barbell bench and then follow up with high rep inclines, be consistent and be patient
you apply a stress to your body and if its great enough then your body will adapt and become stronger, if you're not giving it time to adapt then yeah you won't make gains
