I used to do it your way and sometimes still do but I guess age has caused me to make adjustments. I truley do not fatigue myself with the dumbell flys but they really help me losen up. I'm just really strong in this area. O and 225 x 10 is a walk in the park.
I just can't bench with almost any weight without some degree of pain with out the fly warm up. I will just continue to bench light over and over again until the pain subsides and by them I am fatigued and have difficulty going heavy but with the flys I can easily do them, by a standard that most would consider heavy but easy for me and then jump right into bench with no pain hitting it hard. Go figure but my years of experience has taught me this is how my body works and what it does come down to is knowing your own body.
Peace brother
