    Personally I like to do the following for chest:

    Incline Press, Flat Press, Incline DB Flys, and finish with Cable Crossovers or Dips. Alternate Barbells and DBs for you presses and alternate the order of the presses too.

    For triceps....start with a mid-range mass movement like close grip bench press or heavy weighted dips, follow up with a stretch exercise such as overhead extensions or skull crushers, and finish with pressdowns.

    Everybody differs in terms of what works for volume (number of sets) but I personally do higher volume...I have found it works for me.

    Chest...4 sets for each pressing movement, 4 sets for flys, and 3 sets of dips or cables.

    Triceps....4 sets of close grip or heavy dips, and 3 sets for the remaining 2 exercises.

    Currently I do this only once every 5-7 days...so with this volume make sure you're not training more than once a week, ensure your nutrition is "on", and that you're getting plenty of rest (sleep).
    Searching for the right balance...
