Pump in my chest

Hey all, I never seem to get a a good pump in my chest as compared to other parts of my body. My biceps for example, swell up and get very tired for the rest of the day. After a couple sets of benchpress, however, i fell tired yet i don't seem tired for the rest of the day or feel the immediate swell. Is this normal? Is my chest workout routine not tough enough? I do 3 sets of 10 for the flat bench and 2 sets of 10 for the incline bench. The last set of flat and incline I do to failure. thanx

what works pretty well is pick your max weight and do a pyramid type work out like this: 10 x 50% (warm up) \ 6-8 x 60% \ 6-8 x 70% / on these if you can't do 6-8 reps at first its ok 6-8 x 80% / as many as you can at 70% as many as you can at 60% as many as you can at 50% take about 5 min. between each set for a rest, you will def. be feelin the burn!!! after this go into working the biceps, triceps, and shoulders. the first time i did this i was sore for a week

try higher repes 1 min rest... 12-15 reps.... 3-4 sets... makesure u use good form. so ur not using too much shoulder and triceps , i ahve the same problem for my lats i can hit em with everything , they get tired , but barely pumped... when u bench press.. instead of focussing on pushing up... focus on the elbow... i mean , focus on straightening your arm at teh elbow while relaxing your tris and shoulders opposed to pushing up hard.... try it , it focusses more the chest then shoulder tri... let me know if u get a pump also if u dont get a pump , try jumpin on the pec dec first and do 1 triple drop set , itll pre exhuast your chest ... and burn ,trust me
