guys need opinion on benching, my shoulder and traps usually give up before my chest, usually the next day i only feels sore at my outer pecs but not inner pecs, and i've tried all kinds of grip, wide or narrow... this had already last for 4 months, im 9 months into lifting, all my other parts developed well but not my inner chest... i looks like i have a saggy boobs zzz

could it be the chance my forms are wrong, or my traps and shoulder are undertraining so it could not par with my chest... i can only dumbbell shoulder press 45lbs 5x5 at 163cm 64kg =(

*and yeah i watched several youtube video and followed their form but still my shoulder and traps gave up first zzzzz

As far as I know, the shoulder and triceps (traps?) are secondary muscles that will be used during bench press and chest being the primary. Some people do advices to exhaust the pecs first by doing isolation exercises for pecs such as cable flys or you can make the weak secondary muscles stronger to meet your bench level.

And btw, there are only two pecs group which are upper and lower pecs. There is no outer, middle, inner, up top pec.

I don't even feel strain on my traps while benching. There's no such thing as inner outer pecs thing. Simply put, your pecs are not developed.
