thanks for any input

Post your exact workout in detail

flat barbell 5 sets 8 reps, then usually after that i keep doing more sets of lower reps till i can barely lift once

5 sets of flies 10 reps

5 sets overhead extensions 8 reps

2 or 3 times a week
i dont really workout anything else at the moment but i will in the near future once i figure put together a full body routine

Push ( chest, delts and triceps)
pull ( lats, biceps, traps)
legs ( quads, hamstrings, calves)

3x a week is too much to hit each muscle group, once or twice a week is enough.

so besides the burnout does everything else look rigt as far as chest, and will probably break my routine down to that
