From my experience this is what I believe:
-Take a day off before chest day
-Work your triceps on a seperate day than chest. Make sure to do 3-4 sets of close grip bench and behind-the-back dips.
-Every once in a while for a chest workout, try using a machine, going very heavy, and focus completely on exploding the weight up. I explode up, bring it back down slowly, rest for a second, then explode up again.
-Rear delt exercises are a must because they are the stabilizers for balancing the weight.
-Whenever possible, wear a wrap around your upper elbow so you work your chest more than your tri's during benching.
-If you feel your triceps/shoulders fag out before your chest does during bench pressing, begin your workout with 3 sets of moderately heavy machine butterflyes. It just works the chest, so when you tackle the bench, your chest will fatigue the same time your supporting muscles do.
-Every three workouts I switch and do a week (twice in that week) of dumbbell flats instead of barbell. It will help strengthen your pecs while allowing your tendons and joints to heal.
