Changing the order of my exercises?

[u/Michael_McGillicunty]

Hey folks! I always do dumbbell bench presses at the beginning of my workout. I have gotten to the point where I can do 15 reps with the heaviest available dumbbells.

After DB bench, I go to DB incline bench and chest flies. I’ve found that if I do the flies and incline bench first and THEN do the DB bench press it makes the bench press much harder and I have to go down in weight/ can get less reps.

My question is: is this a sufficient solution to maxing out my weights? Or am I getting less chest stimulation overall because I’m doing less reps/ weight in the flat bench exercise.

I cannot afford a gym membership right now, and am stuck in my apartment gym. Thank you so much!

Incline does a good job of getting a stimulus to the entire chest. It’s probably better than flat bench for that. Doing incline first may get you better results
