But seriously. I did work really hard today I can barely lift myself up cause my triceps are so tired.
This statement is very telling. It looks like your triceps are giving out before your pecs. That's a pretty common problem and can be easily fixed by doing a pre-exhaust routine. Start your chest workout with an isolation movement, dumbell flyes work very well for this. Do them until your pecs are exhausted. THEN switch to a compound movement such as benchpress. By doing it this way, your pecs are already tired before really blasting them with the benchpress and they'll give out before your triceps do.
